An earnest vulnerability combined with an uplifting message to seize each moment has

buoyed Hollow Coves and their fans through a journey of mutual understanding—the dream

isn’t success but rather the acute awareness of life’s fragility.

Hollow Coves is the indie-folk voice of connection to beauty and community—a reminder to

look inside the self and embody gratitude for the natural world. Living on the Gold Coast and

weaving their own perspective on paradise, Matt Carins and Ryan Henderson are equal

parts songwriters and vocalists, alternating lead roles to best serve the song.

After meeting through a mutual friend at the end of 2014, Matt and Ryan recorded a handful

of songs in a friend’s garage. Ryan spent the next year traveling as they went back and forth

over Dropbox, layering vocals and instruments as a means of creative release. After

uploading a few songs to SoundCloud, thousands of listens poured in overnight until they

amassed over a million clicks. Stunned, the boys phoned each other from across the globe.

Deciding to follow whatever it was that chose them, Matt put aside his carpentry job, and

Ryan gave up being a civil engineer to see where a life in music could lead.

Organic listening has grown their audience ever since, with over half a billion streams

worldwide and nearly a million followers across their platforms.

That twist in fate led them to release their debut EP Wanderlust in 2017. Travel stories and

ruminations on landscapes from years past defined their sound and their purpose as a group,

and Hollow Coves unintentionally became known for writing indie-folk anthems for the great

outdoors. Fan favourite ‘Coastline’ became one of the top 20 most used songs on Instagram

Reels in Summer 2021, and was certified Gold in Canada and Australia.

As opposites that attract, Ryan’s keen sense for detail as a classically trained pianist

compliments Matt’s easy-going surfer approach. The yin-yang pairing of their personal

polarities allows them to flip complex musings into poetic simplicities, evoking a palpable

feeling of weightlessness.

In 2018, they retreated to the countryside of Devon in the south of England to record

alongside producer Chris Bond (Ben Howard, Justin Nozuka, Xavier Rudd), leading to the

2019 release of their debut full-length album Moments.

A hand-crafted acoustic journey that pulls you out of your world and into something mellow

and free, Moments was well-received, with praise from the likes of Billboard, PASTE, Clash,

Sunday Times, OnesToWatch and more. The band toured around the world with artists such

as Tom Walker, The Paper Kites, Passenger, and most recently The Lumineers.

As the pandemic swept everyone into isolation, Hollow Coves moved into a house on the

Gold Coast. They sourced second-hand equipment, put Matt’s carpentry skills to use building

a soundproof recording booth, and learned the basics of recording together through trial and

error. Their EP Blessings was recorded and self-produced at the band’s home in 2021.

“We wanted the album to be the musical equivalent of some sort of new age retreat where

people might go to sit still, renew their mind, and shift their focus to something more

positive,” says Ryan.

Their narrative-driven lyricism pushed them beyond day-to-day life, capturing hard-learned

lessons and hopefulness during tough times. The EP resonated with listeners seeking

guidance and levity, and vulnerable stories and messages of gratitude poured in from fans.

Hollow Coves made their return in 2024 with the release of Nothing To Lose, via Nettwerk

Music Group. Across its eleven songs, Nothing To Lose is a rallying cry for appreciating the

here-and-now amidst the oversaturation and ephemera of the digital age - coupled with the

anxiety and burnout that too-often accompany them. It’s a collection that mines the

underestimated powers of gratitude, perspective and simplicity; taking time to cherish the

natural beauty of the world around us, and the presence of the ones we love.

Driven by the energy of their audience, a grounding oceanside lifestyle, and a sound that

genuinely reflects their mindset, the band continues to push forward to live their own recipe

for a good life.
