As much as people like to pigeonhole music, the genre tool doesn"t apply with At The Hollow. Much to sales personnel"s dismay, it"s next to impossible to attach any genre names to this Helsinki-based trio"s music. The band, comprising of a guitar, percussion and a contrabass played with a bow, At The Hollow has found a unique niche of their own; possessing some qualities from post-rock and others from the grungier side of rock, What I Hold Most Dear is a potpourri of paradoxes. The tunes are darkly melancholic yet light as air, the lyrics are introverted and gloomy yet strangely uplifting at the same time. This music is stripped, organic and honest-to-goodness all the way to the point of rawness. Subtle yet in-your-face, fragile yet brimming with inner strength. Balanced by juxtapositions. Bare. Haunting. Sublime. Humane. Separating themselves from the noise overkill of mere rock music, this collection of songs is like an exhibition of emotions frozen in time - still images of everyday things in striking black and white. Freshly found avenues to tap straight into the well of feelings. Open doors to show the listener there are miracles in the mundane to be found, if you just can find the time stop in your tracks and silence the noise for a fleeting moment. Rooted in a plethora of different genres of rock music, years of experience and insight into the world of music business and the entire scope of human feelings, At The Hollow"s genre-bending debut What I Hold Most Dear redefines the ways emotive rock music is done.
