Channelling the sounds of The Byrds, Big Star and The Flying Burrito Brothers, as well as hints of Mojave 3 and The Allah Las, The Hanging Stars mainline the dying embers of the early 70s psychedelic folk and cosmic country scenes. The band is comprised of songwriter, singer and guitarist Richard Olson, Sam Ferman on bass, Paulie Cobra on drums, Patrick Ralla on banjo, guitar, keyboards and assorted instruments, with pedal steel courtesy of Joe Harvey-Whyte.

The Hanging Stars New Album 'Hollow Heart'
It’s been a long time coming, 'Hollow Heart', the new album and Loose debut from cosmic country rockers, The Hanging Stars. Recorded at Edwyn Collins' Clashnarrow Studios in Scotland with Sean Read (Soulsavers, Dexys) at the controls, 'Hollow Heart' is the band's most assured collection of songs to date and exudes the warm, rootsy psychedelia that they have become renowned for.
