New Music: Lucid Express – Hollowers (feat. Adam Honingford)

With their self-titled LP due out of the 16^th of July via Brooklyn’s Kanine Records, Hong Kong quintet Lucid Express team up with Adam Honingford of San Francisco’s Bilinda Butchers on the hazy delight that is Hollowers.

Lucid Express excel at creating a shoegaze sound that is at once ethereal and energetic. The vocal performances bring a shimmering sense of movement to the track, as the guitars veer from the sublime to the searing, all built on a rhythm section that is fluid yet varying in tempo. Quite a neat trick to pull off in just over three minutes!

Lucid Express can be pre-ordered on Bandcamp, which includes a limited-edition turquoise version of the LP. Rough Trade is currently taking orders for a coke bottle clear vinyl edition, which is exclusive to the store. The band’s Facebook and Instagram socials are the places to go for updates on ordering the album and listening to music from Lucid Express.
