THE VOID
Album Write Up By
ø Iggy J. Louis
The Void LP is an autobiographic soundscape. The diversity and vibrance in new frontiers. The motifs explore not the tangibility of F. Holloway’s affliction and addiction, as detailed in the last album; this release however conveys emotion’s sought-after spirituality as attuned through the comfortability in new music range and motifs—finesse such as this is unseen among his prior oeuvre.
​
The nu-blues and indie sounds showcase the choice for the albums overall realising of Holloway’s heart-felt and bloody-handed attempt to conquer tedium and inner identity accusations. We realise as we go through the ten tracks intonated octaves and beauty, it is into subsistence to itself—we have to face the paradox of ourselves to solve. That once delegated pain and suffering, our insecurity is to love the entirety, unhealed and open blood-red wounds in The Void LP are, now, disseminated of the stoic first aid. That which our modern times maybe finds receptive audience. To the whitewash and tsunami tides, the infallible ocean offered by fates weave is shown by The Void LP that we can become swallowed by our mortality to truly live.
​
The Void by Fletcher Holloway comes at a time in history where we need to throw away the cheap optimisms and mindless cliché’s by understanding the inquisitive nature of what we neglect. This LP provides the truest colours to the dusk we all face inside us, the wisdom of F. Holloway’s music journey maybe an answer to our time’s currency.

ø Iggy J. Louis
You sit here, listening to vivid and soul-ful expressions. No due poise or pose or posturing, through your design. You think it is best this way. To recess into whichever which emotion fertility, keening onto that vibrato of life as the audience member.
Your ingrained curiosity bestows no concessions for imagining the future. You live solely in presence. Neglect how, they say, you oughtn’t to live beyond your means. They say you should do that one too—until pulled attention, you hear a presenter talk about designated feature artist ‘Fletcher Holloway.’
How with great inner charting, this song-writer /producer has tackled a feat. Rivalling all such nay-saying palavers. How sobriety, for you, is always usually the kind of nothing that you fill around poetic truisms—black ink, communication and connection’s space coloured in. However, Fletcher is uncompromising in his pursuit of the subsequent pain, melancholia and new-found spirituality, and opportunistic idealism produced—the kind of thing you’d not have heard through an album in such coded detail and hope (other than Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking, the audio-book).
A magic journey in loss, addiction and recovery. Until love.
From the catchy hip-hop beat of Lysergic, through to Blood Moon Rising and This Moment’s depth , Fletcher’s wizardry walks us through every emotion from the deep despair of his ailments, the ultimate beauty not in text but in the music: deep acoustic guitar riffs with catchy soul and the dulcet sultry vocals, all with intervals of epic electric guitar solos. The punchy rock’n’roll tracks in this album are hard, wanted—right through to The End (the final track; more an ellipsis than period), hosting the kind-of reminiscence in tone people so easily access via store-bought intoxication, the sway of twilight park ambling.
You stare now, the speaker interrupted by a presenter, with the other instrument held in your ulterior hand, growing equally faded vie-za-vie plumes out the top of your effigy. The magic of this twelve-track album has you addicted—but with purpose.
BIO:
Starting from a young age, Fletcher has been performing on the piano since he was 5 and started singing when he was 6. Getting his first acoustic guitar when he was 8, guitar lessons came almost in the same motion. Performing at school gigs and the occasional charity gig, Fletcher went on to study music at school from year 7 to year 12.
Gathering all his musical skills from his upbringing and schooling, he is now producing some of the most chilled out, relaxing to upbeat, house through hip-hop to blues, acoustic then to metal, down-tempo to curious abstract tracks; proving again and again that the limits of his musical repertoire aren’t tied down to a standing plane.
Fletcher has 6 different music aliases. Tesken, NABOO, Sunny & Rain, Youth To The Moon, Blood Moon Rising and Bloodline; releasing music under all of these names on sites such as Soundcloud and Bandcamp. The genres range from Instrumental Hiphop, Jazz hiphop, Ballads, Vocal songs, Psychedelic experimental rock and Metal.
Fletcher has also collaborated with Daniel Gurjian (AKA Pedro) from Chillaum, on Metal tracks from The Ones We Left behind. Performing in live acts such as Plan B and Counter Culture as a teenager, the fervent life of his mind’s music has led him to pursue music as a solo artist. He is now producing music and releasing under the label Wolf Entertainment.

" Fletcher Holloways breakthrough album Fade to Black is the upcoming artist’s nuanced start into the electronic music scene. A first by the relatively beginning artist, take heed the mistake underestimating its mettle. The fearful reproach newfound musicians face when conveying depth in dark atmospheres is however soothed by Holloway’s playful finesse as he contorts strings and synths, influenced by quirky and oriental energy. The siren song is littered throughout its 8 tracks: heavy hitting synth work both cinematic and lounge affiliated. Its repetitive call seems reflective to the insistent voice of the mind’s melancholic, depressive spiel, as is part and parcel of Fade to Black’s tone. The beats almost nostalgic to the lyricism—brisk double tracks echoing the wise subconscious voice piqued by the wounded in hard time’s desperate request to make fast—the harrowing vocals guide listeners into the depth of a melancholic instrumental frenzy, until you’re almost gaga for the breakdown, begging for the craftsman to have his way. Such is Holloway’s Stockholm Syndrome. Nights in Shanghai, Hong Kong. Adulthood’s grit. Fluorescent lights in rain soaked streets while eating stale MSG laced food. All 8 tracks by Fletcher Holloway are reminiscent for anyone who follows Trap’s evolution into the late maturity of today. Fade to Black responds to our ruminations of isolation and unforeseen showers. (Though cataclysmic storms have found evidence to their fleeting nature; a certainty to dissipation) Fletcher Holloway portrays stoicism with sensitivity and strength in this ensemble. Holloway has been writing music since childhood. He didn’t require sheet music as a child, and effortlessly switched from piano to guitar to his parent’s amazement at the level of prodigy they had produced. In his later years he’s been releasing various side- projects, from metal through to chill-step; all refining his sound to the debut Fade to Black, released under his own name by Wolf Entertainment. I’d sit keenly on this guy. " - ø Iggy J. Louis
