Montreal-based, Newfoundland-raised musician Aaron Powell, who operates the project Fog Lake, has revealed details about his upcoming seventh album, Hollowbody. This album follows 2023's Midnight Society and will be released next month.
Hollowbody was co-produced, mixed, and mastered by Powell's longtime collaborator, Warren Hildebrand. The album was inspired by a Tascam amp simulator Powell purchased from eBay, which is an 80s model with a quick and easy analog recording button. This device significantly shaped the sound and feel of the songs Powell composed.
The single "Bogus" from Hollowbody highlights the tension between Powell's soft vocals, lively acoustic strums, and a scratchy guitar solo that becomes prominent at the song's conclusion. The lyrics of this track delve into a fractured relationship, misunderstandings, and the presence of dead cigarettes. Powell explained that the song is about "bad luck"; he has experienced much luck in life, but has never had such fortune with romantic partners.
The tracklist for Hollowbody includes: "Dandelion", "Elephant", "Styrofoam", "Gamut", "Bogus", "Sadie", "Hummingbird", "Rocco", "Set It Off", and "Balcony".
