The track is from the artist’s engrossing new EP Listen
With the release of his impressive new EP Listen, emerging US artist Hollow Star has continued to showcase a distinctive alternative rock sound that leans on nostalgic sounds from different eras, particularly 80s bands like The Cure, The Smiths and New Order, to craft a thoughtful sound that brings a modern flair to new wave-y indie rock.
A track that we have singled out for praise from the EP is ‘Seconds’, immediately setting the tempo for the collection of tracks with a rousing and upbeat style that is littered full of catchy moments and punchy riffs. There is an aura and a confidence to the artist’s style that echoes the kind of magnetism that luminaries such as Johnny Marr, Ian Curtis and Robert Smith exuded, and it makes for a engrossing track that feels as self-assured and assertive in what it is as anything you’re likely to hear anytime soon.
