Hollow Drifter – Colours In Time
Self-released – 2026
Rock, Psych, Folk, Seventies
Rated: ****

It’s meditative qualities cannot be overstated… Buddha would approve. Yes, Hollow Drifter’s Colours In Time feels like a dream, a slow drift through hazy, sun-drenched, rainbow sporting landscapes, where seventies psychedelics meet the warmer currents of modern post-rock and something weirdly indie. Morning Fog opens the sit-in,  like a ghostly dawn, folk tinged melodies drawing the listener gently into the mist…

That mist stays but is allowed to open up. And at the heart of it, and this EP, lies the magnificent fourteen-minute Seasons, Ages, Legends…, a patient, budding, and highly organic voyage through warm waters, built upon acoustic foundations, before more electric textures gradually bloom around them. It’s a hypnotic stream, filled with subtle floating stories and beautifully restrained crescendos, which create a blissful sense of wading through and ever changing sonic river, culminating in a richly rewarding psychedelic waterfall, which instead of going down seems to ascent ever higher… 

Cradlesong closes the three track EP, with delicate guitars and keys, allowing the record to fade together with the last light of the evening. Meditative, warm, atmospheric and quietly adventurous, and constantly shifting through all sorts of heavenly colors. We mentioned their Devolve album from 2024 before on the HiVe, but Colours In Time reveals a gentler, captivating side of the Hollow Drifter four, and without any doubt leaves you wishing the journey had lasted just a little longer…
