Slow Hollows, the recording alias of Los Angeles-based Austin Feinstein, has shared “Tired,” the final preview of his new album Bullhead, out this Friday, March 8th via Danger Collective. Over haunting and gorgeously layered guitars, Feinstein sings “I'm tired of everybody but you,” and Consequence called the song “a dreamy track, dipping ever so slightly into shoegaze antics” in their Origins feature.
Bullhead marks the first new Slow Hollows album in 3 years, following the band's dissolution in 2020, and subsequent revival as principal songwriter Austin Feinstein's solo project.
In sharp contrast to 2019's Actors, which interpolated R&B and dance music and was influenced by collaborations with Frank Ocean (Feinstein sings the chorus on Blonde's “Self Control”) and Tyler, the Creator (who crafted the beat for Actors' “Heart,” and whose albums Feinstein appears on), Bullhead finds Feinstein stripping things back to an elemental place. There are shades of Neil Young and Elliott Smith at the core of these songs, but they're all lushly rendered, unafraid to boast rich strings, moody synths, and bighearted guitar riffs.
“Making a cohesive album was the most important thing to me,” says Feinstein. “Having some time away from the band made me realize what Slow Hollows stood for. It's hard to realize what you're getting at when you're doing it. Making a sonic shift towards the sounds of early Slow Hollows records felt like something I needed to do for myself.” Pre-order Bullhead HERE.
“Tired” is preceded by the urgent and densely layered single “Idle Hands,” which captures the intensity of the band's storied live sets and the bands “trademark melancholy,” FLAUNT noted. Paste Magazine praised the driving and emotional “Soap” for its “grand piano-driven melody,” and Bandcamp highlighted “Old Yeller” writing “an intimate acoustic song touched with gentle ambient drone.”
To celebrate the release, Slow Hollows will embark on a headline tour across the US, kicking off on March 14th and concluding on May 10th in Los Angeles at the Lodge Room. Tickets are on-sale now.
