Horse Epic is Hollow Howl’s Single Out Now
The track begins with a hypnotic, deep groove that paves the way for something unique.
The sound feels like it’s been dusted with desert sand, with a touch of the mysterious and the surreal. As the reverberating guitar echoes through the track, the atmosphere builds — expansive, open, and somewhat otherworldly. It’s as if the music creates a world around you, pulling you into its sphere.
The vocals are striking, delivered with a kind of detached, intriguing quality. They have the feel of an oracle speaking from a distant place, as though the words are carried on a breeze from another time or dimension.
There’s a psychedelic vibe here, almost like a whispered secret you’re meant to uncover, one that drifts into your consciousness in waves. The band’s approach, at least on this track, feels deeply introspective and intentional as if they are crafting a very specific mood and guiding you through it.
Musically, there are definite echoes of ’60s psychedelia, with hints of The Doors’ influence — the dark, haunting undertones, and the slow, winding rhythm that hypnotizes rather than just entertains.
When the vocal line “There is a town in the distance” floats into the mix, it carries with it an eerie, yet strangely fascinating, quality. It’s a line that feels like it’s at once a warning and an invitation, leaving you intrigued and slightly unsettled.
The rhythm of the track is where things get truly entrancing. There’s a sense of repetition, but it never feels tedious. Instead, it lulls you into a sort of trance, as if the song itself is guiding you deeper into its web of sound.
It’s the kind of rhythm that triggers images and sensations, almost like a psychedelic experience that takes shape in the mind’s eye. The more you listen, the more the song feels like a dream that you don’t want to wake from — visceral, mysterious, and somehow out of reach.
It’s hard not to imagine how this track might have resonated in the festival scene of the past. Hollow Howl’s raw energy and inventive sound would have surely made them stand out at something like Woodstock, where the spirit of experimentation and boundary-pushing was alive.
The band’s distinctive style makes them an exciting new find, offering something that feels fresh yet familiar in all the best ways.

Horse Epic is Hollow Howl’s Single Out Now
Hollow Howl is a four-piece from a rural corner of New Jersey, USA. In their day jobs they work with the land as farmers and ecological restoration practitioners. Terrain imbues their work, and is likewise channeled in their creative lives. Terrain is lyrical metaphor, musical soundscape, a melodic allusion to faraway and intimate places. Their dark and heavy music doesn’t easily categorize as heavy metal or punk, but seeks an intensity marrying the pathos of minor key folk music – flamenco, fingerstyle blues, eastern drones – with gritty, stormy rock n roll. Guitarist Jared Rosenbaum plays an acoustic guitar throughout, but one suffused with the gain of a distorted tube amplifier, full of echoing reverb and delay
