  • Bio

    Hollowblue, originally a solo project by Gianluca Maria Sorace, becomes a band in 2003 when Marco Calderisi aka Killjoy on guitar, Giancarlo Russo on bass and Federico Moi on drums joined him. On strings they had the support of several people: Chiara Cavalli, Sarah Crespi and Sarah Mayer on violin and Ellie Young on cello. In the summer of 2009 the keyboardist Enrico Filippi permanently joined the band. Hollowblue have released three albums, each of which has received fantastic reviews and attention from both Italian and international press. The last two albums received 4 stars in the prestigious British magazine Uncut and Italian Rollingstone and the official David Bowie site dedicated them an entire page of praise, with particular attention to their version of the song "Letter to Hermione" recorded with Luca Faggella for the tribute Repetition*Bowie. Their collaborations are always of great interest: the American writer Dan Fante, son of John Fante (they wrote a song with and now planning an entire album of music and poetry), the Italian/Finnish Lara Martelli, Anthony Reynolds of the British band Jack, the songwriter Luca Faggella and recently Sukie Smith aka Madam. In 2009 they founded aCupintheGarden Records which, thanks to the support of the distributor Audioglobe, are going to publish not only Hollowblue albums but also the work of musicians with similar style and attitude.

To buy "Wild nights, quiet dreams" on Itunes
Wild Nights, Quiet Dreams

...impossibile non riconoscerne la bontà e la bellezza
Federico Guglielmi Il Mucchio

La calligrafia è sovraccarica, versicolore, potente, all'insegna di una sintesi tra romanticismo ingrugnito Cave, noir sabbioso Calexico, inquietudine mitteleuropea dEUS e languore glam mutuato brit-pop come i primi Suede
Stefano Solventi SentireAscoltare

Un disco bellissimo e struggente al di là di ogni definizione
Ian Della Casa Music Club

Progetto prezioso, di gente che sa pensare, scrivere, comporre, interpretare e arrangiare canzoni guardando a modelli alti e internazionali
MTV.IT

"Stars are crashing (in my backyard)" è frutto di una spiccata e sottile immaginazione creativa. Una piccola opera d'arte
Eleonora Chiari Rockit

Sorace and his compatriots are producing a glorious sound
Helen Wright "MusicOMH"

Everything is perfectly understated, allowing Sorace to convey the bulk of emotion via his expert crooning
Michael Pearlstein "The Big TakeOver Magazine"

…tinte cupe e archi in primo piano. Visto che inglesi invadono la Toscana, perchè non dare il via al trend opposto?
Rossano Lo Mele "Rumore"

...una capacità di muoversi tra i registri e sfumature che denota una maturità rara...
A. Besselva Averame "Il Mucchio"
