Hollowgold

"Hollowgold" by Snarez is an instrumental EP that blends contemporary jazz with the warmth of old-school lo-fi beat tapes. The project is rooted in live instrumentation, including guitars, Rhodes keys, and synths, crafted into lush, atmospheric soundscapes.

The music feels nostalgic and reflective, with deep, smooth drums and layers of textured noise from amps and effects units. Snarez’s synth playing carries a sense of longing, while the Rhodes, bass and percussion add warmth and depth. The result is a sound that’s both advanced and easy to listen to, a mix of intricate musicianship and laidback grooves.

Inspired by artists like MNDSGN, who blends interesting chords and samples into lo-fi-esque music, Snarez has created a work that feels like a nod to the past while maintaining its own distinct sound.

The title "Hollowgold" reflects the idea of hidden emptiness beneath a polished surface, touching on themes of nostalgia, solace, and closure.

This EP is a heartfelt return to the spirit of the music that shaped Snarez’s love for jazz and beats, wrapped in a sound that’s entirely his own.
