We Are All Fossils - “Hollow”
South Africa-born, England-based singer-songwriter We Are All Fossils has just released the delightfully folksy sounds of “Hollow.”
The track is centered around a rather energetic line of percussion, accompanied by the deep notes from a bass and layers of guitar that weave an introspective vibe into the composition. If you’ve been looking for music to compliment your late-night drives to nowhere, or even a soundtrack to your everyday existence, the gentle nature of “Hollow” will accommodate you quite nicely.
The vocal performance soon appears, just as raw and honest as the rest of the track, and you may quickly start to wonder where We Are All Fossils has been your entire life– “Hollow” seems to fill a profound void, like an old friend showing up at your doorstep. The sound is rich and vibrant, with magnificent layers of additional vocals that glide through the arrangement over the refrain.
The delicate and subtle keys of piano find their place just before “Hollow” enters an emotionally-charged and stripped-back dynamic break, with vocals that reach into a tender, breathy falsetto. This divine moment of dynamic variation is actually the point when we knew we had to share the track, but the glorious elevation that follows is a very close second, as “Hollow” climaxes with a robust, full-band finale.
