Influenced by Big Thief, Fleet Foxes, Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver. Hollis Finch spent four years as a sonar technician on a U.S. Navy destroyer, charting the vast, empty landscapes of the North Pacific. He now writes songs in a damp Portland basement on the same nylon-string guitar his grandfather, a merchant marine, taught him to play. His music maps the quiet echoes of a life at sea and the strange shoreline between military discipline and civilian drift. These are declassified personal logs set to hushed, intricate folk.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The Lumix sits on a stack of old sea-charts from Bremerton.
It's 3:47 in the morning, the whole city's underexposed.
The phone in my hand has the weight of a sounding line,
I trace your number, a ghost in the grain of the screen.

[Chorus]
In these aperture hours, I'm burning the image in.
Learning the focus before the real life begins.

[Verse 2]
A half-eaten bowl of adobo, the vinegar scent gone cold.
The nylon-string leaning on a milk crate of old records.
One red sock balled up by the humming dehumidifier.
Your toothbrush still in the mason jar by the sink.

[Chorus]
In these aperture hours, I'm burning the image in.
Learning the focus before the real life begins.

[Bridge]
"This basement's a darkroom," you said, laughing in the doorframe,
"Just waiting for something to develop."

[Outro]
The phone starts to ring.
Double exposure.
