Hollow Star, an up-and-coming artist from the US, further refines his artful sound with "Seconds," a standout from his new EP Listen. He’s making a name for himself with his unique take on alternative rock, fusing nostalgic tones with cutting-edge sounds.
Channeling the melodic introspection of 80s alternative and new wave, "Seconds" establishes the EP's vibe. The pace is brisk and confident, inviting the listener in with energy that’s rousing yet controlled. Infectious moments come easily, rolled out on punchy riffs that linger well after the song ends.
"Seconds" is a tasteful teaser of what Hollow Star has in store, which prides itself on alternative rock history but lets it loose with none of that past-its-use-by-date rope tying it down. It is a self-assured, compelling release that suggests an artist who knows what he wants to say and how he wants to say it, which makes "Seconds" worth paying attention to.
