The Hollow Husk of Feeling - Best Emotional Support & Self-Care Gift for Anxiety Relief | Perfect for Therapy, Meditation & Mindfulness Practices

Best Bets look inwards to deliver another power pop gem with their second album, The Hollow Husk of Feeling, releasing worldwide on 27 September 2024 through Meritorio Records and Melted Ice Cream (NZ).

Recorded in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand from late 2023 to early 2024, The Hollow Husk of Feeling comes from a spiritual place that will be familiar to those who have absorbed the lyrics of Olly Crawford Ellis and James Harding through their work in Best Bets, and garage punks Transistors. The musical palette is expanded this time through the addition of songs penned by primary bass player Joe Sampson (Salad Boys, T54) – who also recorded, mixed and mastered the album in his signature style.
