Clews Rework “Hollywood” and It’s Amazing

It’s amazing how a different treatment can help you hear a song in a brand new way. I didn’t mind “Hollywood” on its release, but Clews’ song didn’t excite me enough to encourage me to put fingers to keyboard. Now that the Aussie sisters from Mollymook have stripped the song back for “Hollywood II,” I’m firmly on board.

This acoustic treatment really brings out the poetry and pain in the lyrics. I kind of missed the pathos in this track about that tricky transition from youth to adulthood before.

Clews will treat local fans to their Spooky Pageant tour before heading off to the UK for the first time, then returning home for some summer festivals. Catch them at all the following shows.

New Song Obsession: "Hollywood" by Angus & Julia Stone

With their stripped back instrumentation and folky vocals, Aussie outfit Angus & Julia Stone create some of my favourite chill-out music. Right now I’m digging their latest single “Hollywood.” If you’ve got their brilliant debut A Book Like This in your collection, you know it already. For anyone who doesn’t hopefully it’ll turn you on to this fantastic local duo. The trippy dreamscape filmclip is the perfect accompaniment for this beautiful tune. Sit back and enjoy it!
