SLOW HOLLOWS Share New Single 'Old Yeller' & Announce 2024 US Tour

After a three-year hiatus, Slow Hollows returns reinvented, sharing new single & video “Old Yeller.” The genre-defying Los Angeles band founded by songwriter Austin Feinstein is now his solo project. Though the group amicably disbanded in early 2020, the now 25-year-old artist never stopped writing songs.

The more he fleshed out new material, the more Feinstein realized it made sense to continue on as Slow Hollows. “Ultimately making a cohesive record 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, so the time to myself helped me understand what made it work.” 

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”), “Old Yeller” focuses purely on Feinstein's songwriting, stripping things back to only an acoustic guitar, his voice, and gentle atmospherics.

“Old Yeller was recorded in two or three takes one afternoon in September ‘22” shares Feinstein, “The lyrics take inspiration from the job of an old vacuum cleaner; feeling dusty and worn down, working over the same familiar spaces over and over again, until reaching the point of frustration and resignation. Taking production inspiration from John Cale, we decided to add a drone underneath the track.”

Paste Magazine said “Feinstein's vocals drift and punctuate like a worn-in folk troubadour's. It's a lush arrangement, as his six-string is draped in teardrop synths and atmospheric tones hold a graceful underbelly beneath the instrumentation.” Listen to the song and watch the video.

In addition to the new single, Slow Hollows have announced a 2024 US headline tour. Tickets are on-sale Nov 10th.
