Reaching back to their sessions for “Gets Loaded”, when the band revisted the Velvet Underground album, Hollis Brown have joined up again with Don DiLego for their brand new single, ‘Run Right To You’, due to be released on 7” vinyl on 28th October via One Little Indian and Velvet Elk Records in the U.S. 

Named after the Bob Dylan song (“The Ballad of Hollis Brown”), the band was formed by Queens-natives and songwriters Mike Montali (lead vocals/guitar) and Jonathan Bonilla (lead guitar). Both 2nd-generation immigrants (Italian-American and Puerto Rican-American, respectively), they soon found their musical brethren across America, recruiting Andrew Zehnal (drums) from Cleveland, Adam Bock (keyboard/vocals) from St. Louis, and Brian Courage (bass) from Long Island.

The new album from Syd Arthur is Apricity and it is out out on 21st October via Communion.

This is Syd Arthur's third album –and the first to be released on Communion. They had  Beck’s guitarist Jason Falkner in the producer’s seat so, the album is highly anticipated. 

“It does feel that the mainstream has moved in our direction,” nods Liam. “People got fed up with boring indie. We just followed our instinct, and felt this was the most forward-looking, current thing. But entirely naturally we have been adjusting – honing the tunes so we’re not just seen as being a jam band.”

“For the new album, before we even went to America, we worked through 18 or 19 songs over three different stages of demo recording,” adds Josh Magill (drums). “We’ve pulled in a lot of ideas and influences, into coherent songs, and we’ve spent a long time crafting things...”

Beyond that, the band comprises of three siblings – Liam, Joel and Josh – and one mate with his own family musical heritage (Raven’s dad is photographer/poet John Bush, his aunt is Kate Bush).
