Hollowsage & The Three Mile Islanders – Aftermath

Sagen Pearse, also known as Hollowsage, balances his life as a funeral director by day and a musician whenever the muse strikes. Drawing from a well of life lessons, stories from past lives, and journeys through alternate dimensions, Sagen crafts each song with a depth that invites listeners to ponder their own mortality and the mysteries of existence. His unique perspective on life, love, dying, and the dead infuses his music with a haunting beauty that resonates on a deeply personal level.
Together with his band, The Three Mile Islanders—longtime friends Geoff Holt, Justin Dillon, Matt Gunn, and Joshua Veens—Hollowsage builds immense crescendos and weaves beautiful melodies, all while keeping the spotlight on the evocative lyrics that drive their songs. Hollowsage & The Three Mile Islanders’ debut album, “Nuclear Home”, won Album of the Year in 2020 and earned them the title of Emerging Artist of the Year at the OMAs.

Aftermath is an 11-song odyssey that represents a bold new chapter in the thought-provoking, emotionally charged oeuvre of Sagen Pearse and his Three Mile Islanders (Geoff Holt, Justin Dillon, Matt Gunn and Joshua Veens).

When a song begins with the line “There has been a rip in the fabric/ Of the spacetime continuum,” you know the artist has a little something weightier on their mind than wanting to dance with somebody who loves them. But neither is “Supernova Spacetime Continuum,” the single from Ontario psychedelic folk-rockers Hollowsage & the Three Mile Islanders, a metaphorically apocalyptic rumination on life, death and the nature of eternity—with a scope that reaches all the way across the universe and back.
Declaring his own inability to protect humanity from “a black hole engulfing the sun,” Hollowsage—a.k.a. Sault Ste. Marie-born, Uxbridge-based singer/songwriter Sagen Pearse—comes to terms with the looming End of Everything by musing that imminent heat death may always have been the personal destiny of every one of us. If we’re lucky, that is. -Eric Alper
