Taylor Kingman Announces New Solo Album 'Hollow Sound' Due Out Nov 18

Following two albums and an EP with his beloved psychedelic doom boogie band TK & The Holy Know-Nothings, Portland, Oregon songwriter Taylor Kingman returns with Hollow Sound, his first solo album since 2017’s Wannabe. Hollow Sound—a ruminative, 11-song moonlit mudbath—is due out November 18th on Mama Bird Recording Co. Alongside the album announcement comes the release of the first single "Heaven Ain't Hiding". Produced by Kingman, Hollow Sound was recorded in his childhood home, a hundred-year-old Oregon schoolhouse. It was engineered to tape by Ryan Oxford (Y La Bamba) as Kingman, guitarist Jon Neufeld (Martha Scanlan), bassist Jeff Leonard (Fruition), and pedal steel player Jason Montgomery (Barna Howard) performed the songs live in a half-circle. Hollow Sound was later mixed by Kingman’s TK & The Holy Know-Nothings bandmate Tyler Thompson and mastered by Neufeld. Album pre-orders are now available on Bandcamp on CD, 180g black vinyl, as well as limited edition “Yellow Belly Yellow” 180g colored vinyl and cassette. Speaking to the album’s first single “Heaven Ain’t Hiding”, which is now available on all DSPs, Taylor Kingman writes,

“Heaven Ain’t Hiding” is about what you keep and what you leave behind when the light is dimming and the air is thinning. It is about the mother and child, the bow and arrow, and the easy pain. I have always had a mother and that is because she made it so. I am lucky.

The first single, “Heaven Ain’t Hiding” is available now.
