"There are two versions of this album," says Hollow Hand's Max Kinghorn-Mills. "But there's only one that exists."
Kinghorn-Mills is reflecting on a period when he was at something of a crossroads. He had written songs for his forthcoming fourth album, but after coming back off tour, something needed to change. "When I listened back to where I'd left the album, it wasn't exciting enough for me," he says. "I was like: that's not really what I want to do anymore."
The result is a record in which you can feel the fun coursing through it, as the zest of a reconfigured and tightly-knit group of musicians burns as brightly as the beautifully melodic and unique songs that they’ve carved out. "It feels closer to the goal of sounding like a band playing live than anything else I've made before," says Kinghorn-Mills. "I guess I needed that difficult time to find myself because I feel completely rejuvenated after making this record."
