The latest single ‘Godspeed’ from Liverpool’s own Alt Rock group, HOLLOWBODY blends crisp production, catchy riffs and floating melodies. Throughout the track, vocalist Harry James explores feelings of existential uncertainty as he navigates life, "stuck waiting for a call’ from the ‘big man up above".
Sonically, the song begins with a half time drumbeat, accompanied by vintage synths and plucky guitars, reflecting the themes of uncertainty displayed in the lyrics. Comparatively, the choruses adopt the classic Britpop sound familiar to us from bands such as The Royston Club and Blur.
Distorted guitar power chords dominate the mix whilst trashy drumbeats provide rhythm, topped off with a strong vocal performance from Harry, who’s catchy vocal melodies are reminiscent of the classic 90s bands that formed the British rock scene 30 years ago and that is seemingly making a resurgence in modern British music today.
