VIDEO PREMIERE: DESERT HOLLOW HIT THE ROAD WITH WORLDLY FOLK-POP ANTHEM “THIRSTY” -- Glide Magazine

​

“A refreshing blend of old-timey country folk, blood harmonies, knee-slapping hoedowns, this album will definitely leave listeners “Thirsty” for more.” -- Pop Matters

​

“Xander Hitzig and Nicole Olney are Desert Hollow, a young California duo who have been compared to Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris. Musical comparisons to those two 70s legends have become almost too commonplace with any new male/female couple working in country or folk music today. The correlation is often unfair because if the recipients of the praise can't live up to those advance notices they're almost looked upon as artistic disappointments. I don't want that to happen to Desert Hollow. But, after you listen to Thirsty - the couple's five song, debut, EP - you'll know why those comparisons are being made.” - bloggerhythms

​

"Thirsty is such a joyful song... The sounds are traditional, the instruments true country." --  WoNo Magazine

​

"I love it when new music drops into my inbox. I love it even more when it is as wonderful as this EP Thirsty from Desert Hollow. Music that is refreshing, melodic, full of hooks and marvelous harmonies. I’ll review it in full nearer to the release on 21 May 2021, but, oh my it’s very good…"-- Hobo On The Tracks

​

"Modern indie folkies blaze a nu trail without ignoring what's come before. Working right out of the box with a simple banjo riff and an innocent, plaintiff vocal, these young ‘un have the feel and the knack for hitting it out of the park in the first trip to the plate. Solid stuff that grabs on and doesn't let go." -- Midwest Record
