HALLOWS is a duo consisting of Vanee Dusoruth and Dom Rolando who started in Minneapolis in 2019 and migrated to Seattle, before ending in Los Angeles. The band explores themes of unease, longing, and sadness in their music drawing from traditional darkwave but with a modern electronic approach.Â
The pair officially started in 2019 with the release of the EP "Subtle" following in 2020 on legendary noise and underground electronic label Phage Tapes, and digitally distributed by German label Cold Transmission. The collaboration with Cold Transmission continued in 2021 with the release of their first full-length "All That Is True" which featured the beloved single "All That Is True Dies." That year marked many adventures for HALLOWS who completed their first full US tour, playing festivals such as Absolution Fest, Darkspring Boston, and Freakout Fest. In 2023 HALLOWS released their sophomore album, "A Quieter Life," via their in-house label - Stoic Media, which featured the fan favorites "Talk To Me" and "Things That Hurt." The band wrapped up 2023 with another full US Tour and a performance at the iconic Los Angeles dark music festival, Substance Fest. With new material in the making, HALLOWS is gearing up for more touring and spreading the sadwave mantra to the masses.
