Praise for HOLLOW COVES
“Mesmerizing…” – Billboard
“The Australian group seem to thrive on space, on allowing their harmonies to pour up towards the heavens.” – Clash Magazine
“Vocals of whispered, unassuming Jose Gonzalez tone, lead us down twisted, unexplored paths as a compliant palette of folk-skewed pop follows.” – Rolling Stone Australia
“Their tunes are as gentle as soft waves on the shore, conjuring up a chilled summer vibe with harmonies that could earn them the tag of Brisbane’s Simon and Garfunkel.” – The Courier Mail
“It’s rare to listen to one artist’s music and genuinely enjoy each new song as much as the last, but Hollow Coves have hit the nail on the head.” – Savage Thrills

Ryan Henderson and Matt Carins are known to have a strong love for travelling and exploring the world, and “Borderlines” pays homage to that; the track comes with an inviting sense of adventure, driven by its lyrics and bright sound. The duo have created yet another lush piece, complete with a warm and tonal guitar, and a steady drum beat, perfect harmonies, and a poetic approach to their writing.

“Inspired by a trip to San Francisco, Borderlines is all about stepping out and making life an adventure,” said Henderson and Carins. “It aims to inspire and encourage the listener to break past their boundaries into something greater.”
This announcement also follows the exciting news that Alex the Astronaut has been confirmed as the support act on their upcoming EU / UK tour this November. This tour is already on its way to selling out, with shows in Amsterdam, Munich, Cologne all already sold out. Hollow Coves have also recently released a performance video of the nostalgic track “When We Were Young”, which Clash Magazine (UK) described as, “dazzling in its under-stated beauty. Expertly pieced together, the slender arrangement is so suggestive, and so refreshing that it is difficult to shrug off easily.”
As affirmed by nearly 200 million total streams on their 2017 debut EP ‘Wanderlust’ and praise from Indie Shuffle, Clash Magazine (UK), and OnesToWatch, Hollow Coves carry light within an eloquent, engaging, and entrancing take on indie folk.
Evoking comparisons to everyone from Simon & Garfunkel to Ben Howard, Angus and Julia Stone, and even Coldplay, ‘Wanderlust’ quietly emerged as a phenomenon. The two singles, “Coastline” and “Home”, surpassed 30 million streams each on Spotify, and their song “The Woods”, both the original and acoustic versions, collectively gathered over 40 million streams and over 10 million views on YouTube. Meanwhile, the boys toured alongside the likes of Tom Walker and headlined packed shows around the globe.
The duo have had huge live success around Australia, selling out their most recent headline tour well in advance. Hollow Coves also picked up Woodford Folk Festival sets in 2018 after playing 2017’s Australian Music Week to standing ovations. They scored two awards at the 2018 Gold Coast Music Awards, with their song “Coastline” taking out Song of the Year and the duo winning Breakout Artist of the Year. The duo were also part of the 2018/2019 NYE on the Hill festival line-up.
Hollow Coves emanate an enduring light with every song and show. With a shared vision the boys agree,
“We hope our music can at least have some sort of positive impact. If people walk away with a changed perspective, inspired, motivated, or just a little bit more stoked with life, then we would consider that a success.”

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
