The 411: The 20-year-old Sydney-based producer (real name Edan Visser) has just revealed a handful of national tour dates in honour of his spirited new single ‘Hollow’ ft. Panama.

“I was originally trying to write this uplifting little pop track, but Panama’s lyrics were dark and melancholic, screaming of love loss,” Hounded explains. “That wasn’t how I heard the song at all. But I ultimately realised that these two ideas can coexist in sound, because they coexist in life.

“Someone may be going through a breakup and listen to the record and relate to what Panama is saying and feel some kind of connection to it,” he continues.

“While others may hear the uplifting instrumentation and feel a sense of joy. We really tried to capture and contrast both elements because they exist together in the real world.”

Tour Dates:

Saturday, 9th March
Jack Rabbit Slims, Perth
Ticket: Facebook

Saturday, 23rd March

Our Review: Soaked in melancholy yet bathed in sunlight, Hounded’s elegant, uplifting indie-pop will lap gently at your soul. This is a triumph.
