Reuben Sawyer's alternate personality as Hollow Sunshine approaches similar themes of his visual work, ambient compositions and Blood Bright Star project, but executes them in a distinctly different format. "New Light" marks the addition of new member Morgan Enos, who delivers pillowy vocals over Sawyer's downtuned metal riffs. The band's unique identity is forged by elements of sludge, doom, and other heavy genres being placed directly into the blueprint for conventional pop. Hollow Sunshine's natural progression from 2011's "Grey Again" is the realization and vision of pop music as grown from roots in metal and minimalism, rather than the other way around.
