Hollow by Angela Winter
Winter’s debut album, Hollow, explores themes of beauty and death, mysticism and myth, loss and letting go—and the space that opens after a release, which allows something new to be born. Her lodestar during the writing process was a line from the poem “Sunday Morning” by Wallace Stevens: “Death is the mother of beauty; hence from her, alone, shall come fulfilment to our dreams and our desires.”
