Velcros have released “Hollowed”, a psychedelic and horror-influenced track alongside an official video. It marks the first release from their upcoming album, Strange News From the Vault, set to release on March 22, 2024.

The band shares about the video:

When developing the visual concept for ‘Hollowed’, we chose a distinct approach in translating the song visually. While the lyrics explore an outer transformation driven by an inner need, we reversed the video’s theme: the external transformation now poses a threat to the internal. This ambivalence highlights the song’s conflict between having a choice and feeling powerless. ‘It’s alright, whatever you do.’ Or, to quote Celine Dion: ‘There were nights when the wind was so cold / That my body froze in bed / If I just listened to it right outside the window / There were days when the sun was so cruel / That all the tears turned to dust / And I just knew my eyes were drying up forever / It’s all coming back to me now.

The video was made by Nicolai Hildebrandt. Music and lyrics were written and performed by Fabian Bremer, Nicolai Hildebrandt and Manuel Markstein. It was mixed and mastered by Magnus Wichmann at Lala Studios.
