Notes.<\/strong>
\n\u2018Heads in Dust\u2019 is a collection of blissful and at times unsettling songs. It sounds like an abstract soundtrack to someone\u2019s innermost, darkest thoughts, as it drifts seamlessly though sonic atmospheres. The third Hollow Press album in the span of a year, \u2018Heads in Dust\u2019 yet again defies the commercial and conventional music mould. Clearly Hollow Press loves the darker shades of experimentalism, exploring ambience, mingling sounds, wave-like-synths, bells, distorted voices, all of which are displayed on this captivating album.
\n\u201cHollow Press is developing fast, inviting listeners to witness his quick evolution \u2026 These grooves are sleepy, yet restless, like the spirits of a haunted grove\u201d<\/em>
