History
Hologram was formed in the summer of 2011 by multi-instrumentalists Dan Hotten and Matt Wilson. Drummer Charlie Morrison joined the band soon after, having been involved in Wilson's previous band Metanoia. Hologram existed and performed live as a three-piece until early 2012, when bassist Matt Branigan joined.
After two years of frequent live appearances, Hologram entered the studio in early April 2014 to record their debut EP The Void, which was released the following month. Shortly after the release of the The Void, Hologram released three music videos, for "(Please Don't Touch) The Void", "Perihelion" and "The Shore", respectively. These videos were all directed by Miles Skarin, known for his work with The Pineapple Thief, Mysticum and Tim Bowness.
Hologram plan to record Sinker, a follow-up EP to The Void in the summer of 2015.[4]
