Distant Light

The Hollies

A transition from sixties sunshine to seventies grit. Harmonica-heavy rock and smoky ballads anchored by the band's legendary three-part vocal stack.

December 1971 · Epic

Find on Amazon

A mature, slightly weary collection of rock songs that balances technical vocal perfection with early-70s grit.

Moments Worth Waiting For

Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

How does Distant Light sound next to the rest of The Hollies's catalogue?

Dusk saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
