Five Three One-Double Seven O Four

The Hollies

A curious pivot into the synth-pop era. Shimmering keyboards and melancholic harmonies replace the jangle of the sixties with a glossy, nocturnal sheen.

The Hollies trade their guitars for synthesizers and calculators to make a surprisingly smooth late-70s pop record.

A sophisticated and slightly melancholic blend of classic vocal harmonies and shimmering late-seventies electronics.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The unexpected electronic pulse that opens Satellite Three, signaling a hard pivot from their guitar roots.
The lush, stacked vocal harmonies on Stormy Waters that recall their 60s peak but filtered through a melancholic 70s lens.
The way the synthesizer pads swell during the bridge of Maybe It’s Dawn, creating a sense of suspended animation.
