I spoke with Dom and Vanee of HALLOWS, Seattle's dark electronic duo. HALLOWS blend melodic guitar riffs, commanding bass lines, a combination of melancholic and gritty synths, lyrical beats, and moody vocals telling tales. They bring tidings of unease: straining loneliness and isolation, anxiety and fears of meteoric nature, the nightmares of encroaching love, dejected vulnerability, and a life extinct of realization.

Originally from the East African island of Mauritius, Dom and Vanee met while in high school in Mauritius. They moved to the U.S. shortly and formed Hallows. They will be releasing their full EP on April 3, 2020 available on cassette and digital. The single, Subtle will be available for download on Bandcamp on March 18. Subtle was composed entirely in their living room while living in St. Paul. Subtle is an intimate record for them. Using a mix of analog mojo and the coldness of digital synths, their soundseeks to reconcile opposite worlds and produce something meaningful out of the chaos surrounding us today.\\xa0 \\xa0
