 Hollywood Hills tells a story of Lucifer taking someone’s soul in exchange for providing gold, diamonds, money and fame – all the things Hollywood promises.

Making extensive use of tape machines, analogue equipment and vintage gear, Mikheyev’s approach to recording is organic capturing an essence of 70s rock which is contrasted by the inclusion of subtle synths and a throbbing electronic bass which lift the track’s ear-worm chorus and give the track an edge.
