"Old memories, vintage bands, and how we navigate feelings and actions as time goes on..."
Emerging songwriter Ollie Cook has joined Hand In Hive and released his new single ‘Home Video’.
At just 20 years old, Ollie Cook’s musicianship blends elements of Americana with a slacker vibe. His work evokes a feel reminiscent of Wilco or MJ Lenderman, sprinkled with a bit of Pavement (or bar italia).
He describes his sound as “Brumicana Dad Rock” and has recently grabbed the attention of the influential label Hand In Hive (known for artists like Divorce and Wyldest).
The new single ‘Home Video’, available now, serves as a DIY tribute—filmed on location at his university campus.
This catchy yet sometimes surreal song carries a subtle melancholy. Regarding the single, he reflects…
“‘Home Video’ centers on old memories, past bands, and what emotions or actions arise as time moves forward. It serves as a departure point for those involved, as we propel ourselves into the future unabashedly, while those who care about us confront the stark reality of our presence, which isn’t truly absence at all.”
