Hollow Hand Announce New Album With Lead Single "Here Are The Tulips"

Wednesday, 3rd June 2026

We are absolutely delighted to announce that Brighton band Hollow Hand will be releasing their new album “Wish Road South” on September 4th on Loose / Soundly, and that today sees the release of the first single taken from it - “Here Are The Tulips”, the catalyst for the album’s sound and a breezy, infectious, and melodic piece of folk-pop. The song’s lyrics focusing on capturing small stories of everyday life, as it depicts the bus journey that Hollow Hand’s Max Kinghorn-Mills was frequently taking to the studio, and it has a video directed by Max to accompany it.

Hollow Hand has always been a vehicle for Kinghorn-Mills’ songs, and it remains so, but having felt the spark and connectivity of being around more bands, he decided to change tack. “The way I've made albums previously has usually been huddled away in the tradition of a bedroom producer,” says Kinghorn-Mills. “But with this one I expanded my horizons and it made me realise there's so much more to playing, and being in a band, than just recording the songs.”. Along with Oliver Newton (drums) and Leo Clarke (bass) they got together in their new studio space in Brighton and tracked the songs live as a band. “With three of us being involved from the beginning, and all invested in it together, it feels like a group effort, which is a new thing for us,” Kinghorn-Mills says. “Our studio became really important as a creative space and, while it’s not Abbey Road, we were really able to up the production value.”.

“Wish Road South” will be available digitally and on CD & Vinyl, including a Rough Trade Exclusive Clear & Black Splatter Vinyl with fold out Tour Poster! All of which you can pre-order / pre-save already.
