Hollow Hands are self-described as a cosmic folk band, which doesn’t fall very far from the truth.  Their new long-player, Ancestral Lands (October 2015), blends progressive rock and folk rock elements with otherworldly accents to give you a sound that is at once familiar and new. Here on Chariot, you get a taste of that.  If you are looking for some sort of an idea of the sound, consider Crosby, Stills and Nash blended with Genesis and  the more accessible Jade Warrior bits from the Elements era, and you might get something like the sound of Hollow Hands. No song get’s a chance to wear out its welcome on Ancestral Lands, with the average track length at just under three and a half minutes. 

As video’s go, the video for Chariot is a bit on the cheesy side, but that isn’t why we listen to music anyway.  The video is just a delivery mechanism, so if you like, just listen! 

You can find more information on Hollow Hands by visiting their web site, or head up to their bandcamp.com site and pick up Ancestral Lands in digital format (name your price).

If you are looking for something truly different to listen to and add to your music collection, consider this very interesting progressive band!

GOODWOOD ATOMS - Run [Cosmic Folk] (2014)

Leaf of Appreciation: The softer, creepier side of Goldfrapp.

Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, the two Brits behind Goldfrapp, are best known for making slinky, bass-heavy dance music. Their 2005 album Supernature is a fine thing to have on your iPod when you're jogging. Or when you're hosting an orgy, I would imagine. But I actually prefer an earlier, spacier incarnation of the band. Back in 2000, Goldfrapp released Felt Mountain, which abounded with weird, low-BPM cosmic folk. The influences were overt - Portishead, cabaret, Spaghetti Westerns, ambient, James Bond ballads - but distinctively mingled. On "Utopia," Alison Goldfrapp whisper-sings about genetic engineering over fake violins, operatic backup vocals, and what sound like plucked piano wires. The beat gradually inflates, accrues electronic elements, and ruptures into a synthesizer-laced chorus: "Fascist baby / Utopia, utopia." It would be cheesy if it weren't so unsettling. Same goes for Goldfrapp's latest single, "Drew," which marks a return to the Felt Mountain sound: the processed strings, the minor-key composition, the sense of dread. When All Songs Considered spun "Drew" last month, the hosts were taken aback. Bob: "I didn't imagine this sound." Robin: "Not at all what I expected." Lars: "Sounded to me like a good James Bond movie." Everything old is new again.

Keep an eye out for...

The new album, Tales of Us, in early September.

The absurdity of this video for "Lovely Head," the lead-off track from Felt Mountain. A half-dressed Alison Goldfrapp stumbles druggily about someone's backyard, flinging lawn furniture.

Goldfrapp promoting Felt Mountain with "Utopia" on Conan. Vintage.

The fact that Goldfrapp is not a pseudonym, but an actual fucking last name. Goldfrapp.

"A&E," a ballad from an otherwise dancey Goldfrapp album. It's major-key and gorgeous and full of sad lyrics - as if custom-built for the soundtrack of a parallel-universe Dawson's Creek.
