Back To Dust (Cobalt Blue Vinyl)

The first new EP in two years by Tokyo-based alternative rock band HOLLOW SUNS is released on 12-inch vinyl!! Centered on alternative rock as represented by JIMMY EAT WORLD, FOO FIGHTERS, and SMASHING PUMPKINS, it fuses diverse musical influences such as grunge, punk, and shoegaze, delivering an aggressive, powerful, and solid sound that incorporates hardcore grooves as the band's roots and melodic punk-derived hooks. In June 2022, they released the first album "OTHERSIDE", produced together with Grammy-nominated producer Will Yip, known for working with TURNSTILE and TITLE FIGHT. In February 2024, they released "FREE FALL" and carried out a 16-date East Coast U.S. tour, earning recognition for their performances and being selected as the opening act for the East Coast tour of New York post-hardcore band RIVAL SCHOOLS, followed by a second U.S. tour including appearances at two festivals. In 2025, they were chosen as a support act for THE STORY SO FAR JAPAN TOUR. To date, they have toured with many overseas acts such as TOUCHE AMORE, SUPERHEAVEN, DRUGCHURCH, and FLESHAWATER, and have also held two-man shows with The BONEZ. The new release, their first in two years and released in March 2026 by Japan's ICE GRILL$, America's SUNDAY DRIVERECORDS, and Australia's LAST RIDE RECORDS, further deepens a darker and heavier worldview while inheriting the flow of the previous work, featuring songs that combine the weight of modern heaviness, the aggression of hardcore and punk, the depth of shoegaze and grunge, and catchy melodies. Mixing and mastering are handled by Will Yip as with the previous work, and the artwork is created by Brianna Collins of TIGERS JAW. Following the release, nationwide touring as well as tours in Europe, America, Asia, and Australia are scheduled.
