Hollow Ship is a four-piece psychedelic rock band from Gothenburg, Sweden, known for their dynamic fusion of early British psych sounds, afro-rock rhythms, and jazz-infused improvisation.

Formed by multi-instrumentalist and producer Thomas E. Frank and guitarist Vincent Vensal, the band solidified its lineup with drummer Mårten Magnefors and bassist Donovan von Martens.

Their music is characterized by intricate instrumental storytelling, an organic live energy, and a willingness to push genre boundaries.
Since their debut 7” single We Were Kings (2019) and critically acclaimed LP Future Remains (2020), Hollow Ship has been praised by Prog Magazine, Shindig!, and *Raven Sings the Blues*
The band’s reputation has continued to grow since it's start, fueled by their distinctive sound and immersive live performances.
Their 2023 single Utsuro Bune, inspired by a 19th-century Japanese UFO legend,
further showcased their ability to merge historical and fantastical themes within their music.

With a rhythm-driven, exploratory approach that draws comparisons to acts like Dungen and Goat, Hollow Ship has established itself as a key player in the contemporary psychedelic rock scene.

Their latest release, the Animated Music Vinyl EP (May 31, 2024, via PNKSLM Recordings), exemplifies their instrumental prowess and deep musical interplay, originally crafted as part of their Space Motion live collaboration with visual artist Freddy Wallin.

As they continue to evolve, Hollow Ship remains committed to innovation, with a second full-length album coming up. Whether on record or on stage, the band offers a hypnotic and forward-thinking take on psychedelia, solidifying their place as one of Sweden’s most exciting musical exports.
