Hollow Ship

**Hollow Ship** is a Los Angeles-based indie rock duo known for crafting dreamy, retro-futuristic soundscapes that blend psychedelic rock with spacey synth textures. Formed in 2016 by multi-instrumentalists Alex McKenzie and Garth Kriewaldt, the pair quickly carved out a niche with their hazy, reverb-soaked vocals and grooves that nod to ’70s prog-rock and modern psych-pop. Their 2018 debut EP, *Future Remains*, became a cult favorite in underground circles, praised for its hypnotic melodies and themes of existential pondering (later expanded with a deluxe edition in 2020).

Their DIY spirit and love for analog recording gear shine in releases like *Live From Earth* (2020), which captures their loose, jam-friendly energy, and the playful experimentation of tracks like *Utsuro Bune* and *Magic Mountain*. Whether riffing on cosmic mysteries or introspective themes, Hollow Ship’s music feels like a trippy road trip through time—a vibe that’s earned them comparisons to acts like Tame Impala and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. With recent drops like *Where Are We Now?* and *Animated Music*, they keep blurring the lines between vintage warmth and futuristic curiosity.
