A new record about the spaces between things. Eleven songs written between London and the Georgia foothills.
Listen to Hollow Light →Recorded across eighteen months in a converted chapel outside Athens. Hollow Light finds Vaughn at his most cinematic — strings, fingerpicked guitar, and the kind of quiet that arrives after the room empties out.
I'm interested in the way a song can hold two things at once — the leaving and the staying. That's the whole job, really. — Elias Vaughn, in conversation with NPR
Born in the foothills of north Georgia and raised between there and a small town outside London, Elias Vaughn writes songs that feel like both places at once — wide-open and close-spoken, southern and elsewhere.
His debut LP Bluestone (2020) earned a Mercury Prize nomination and praise from The Guardian, Pitchfork, and NPR Music. The follow-up EP Field Notes arrived in 2022, with the full-length The Long Quiet in 2024 — his most ambitious work to date, until now.
Vaughn's fourth album Hollow Light arrived in March 2026 and is currently touring through the spring and summer.
