Hollows - Vulture [CD]

2012 release from the Chicago-based indie quintet. Hollows have taken the girl group influence of their debut and time warped 20 years, creating a sound that has more in common with Kate Bush than Ronnie Spector and more Go-Go's than Shangri-La's. Vulture finds them mining more sophisticated and nuanced sonic territories. Full of yearning throbs, swelling into a symphony of strings (literally!), Caribbean rhythms, plus the crashing drums and organ trills Hollows are known for, Vulture is a razor sharp musical talon.
