Just caught these kids for the first time last night at Wally's World (one of the best places to catch a DIY show in Chicago, btw). Hollow Mountain prefers their rock boiled down to it's essential elements. They take proto-punk-metal-influenced progressions and trudge resolutely in synch with each other. Their tone is crisp, almost crystalline, with just a touch of spacey-sounding echo trailing off in the distance that fits in nicely with their sci-fi themed songs. Its music that will invariably cause every long-haired dude in the room to stare at the floor and bob in stoner-esque approval. That's right Chicago...you've got one more reason to get out to one of the many, many killer shows our fair city has to offer. Get it here.
uh this was actually released on maximum pelt...
