Reminiscing on the lost art of physical photographs with Matt Corby & Alex Henrikkson, Gold Coast’s Hollow Coves penned ‘Photographs’ as a nod towards member’s Matt Carins’ mother, who kept a photo album for him since the day he was born.
With a plucky, quirky nylon string guitar, the duo set about constructing the song with Matt Corby during one of their first writing sessions for their sophomore album ‘Nothing To Lose’. The interwoven guitar parts, backing the tender vocals of both Matt Carins & Ryan Henderson.
With the release of ‘Photographs’, Hollow Coves have also announced their forthcoming sophomore album ‘Nothing To Lose’. Wanting to challenge their writing muscles, the duo wrote separately for the first time in a long time, adding songs to a working folder as they were completed.
Those tracks that would resonate with the duo, they would then work on together. Co-writing with Matt Corby, Alex Henrikkson & Chris Collins in Northern NSW, the sessions went so well that Hollow Coves landed on Matt Corby as the perfect producer for the album itself.
Accompanying the ‘Photographs’ release is a music video for the track, dosed in nostalgia and warmth. The film sees Hollow Coves performing in a cosy house, with interspersed footage & photographs of their childhoods, bringing together the old & the new.
Accruing over 1 billion global streams, Hollow Coves maintain a massive online presence that also includes over 200 million YouTube views and 2.4 million Shazams.
The surge in popularity of their 2021 single ‘Coastline’ on a platform like Instagram earned Hollow Coves more acclaim (it was in the Top 20 most used songs on U.S. Instagram Reels that year), as well as becoming a Gold-certified record in Australia and Canada. Additionally, Hollow Coves have enjoyed extensive Australian and international radio and media support via the likes of triple j, Triple J Unearthed, Billboard and more.
As live performers, they have performed extensively in domestic and international markets, including notable festivals such as Osheaga, Pukkelpop, Reeperbahn, Live At Leeds, Woodford Folk Festival and more; and have supported artists such as The Lumineers, The Paper Kites and Passenger to wide praise.
