Dicey Hollow is the collaboration project of Jamie Biden and Petter Ericson Stakee (lead singer of Alberta Cross). Their debut EP a beautiful, calming mixture of folk and country elements is set to drop on July 24th via Dine Alone Records. GroundSounds recently caught up with the guys for an exclusive interview about their forthcoming project, musical inspirations and more, check it out below.
For those just discovering Dicey Hollow, how did you two meet and start collaborating?
We’ve been friends for years, but had never played together. I was putting together cues for a film I was set to score and asked Petter to come down and be a part of it. The film never got finished, but what we had done in the studio we really liked and laid the foundation for Dicey Hollow.
How did you guys decide on the moniker Dicey Hollow?
Dicey Hollow is a place a close friend of ours exposed us to. It’s vibe really resonated with us.
What do you guys enjoy most about NYC, what is one local spot that visitors should check out?
All the music and bands coming through town. You get to see so many good shows. The Randolph Bar is a great place to hang, and you can shoot pool right around the corner at this place Tropical.
Can you tell us about the creative and writing process involved with “Silver and Sand?”
The nice thing about this EP and “Silver and Sand” is we really sat and worked through all these songs and lyrics together. We were lucky to have some great players and friends of ours come down and play on it, and Nico Aglietti did an amazing job mixing it.
What has it been like working on your debut EP and bringing it to fruition?
We really took our time with it and tried to let it grow organically. You always want to keep it fun, and we were able to do that with this EP.
What musicians/bands are you guys currently listening to?
Temples, Blake Mills, Tame Impala, War on Drugs, Jonathan Wilson, Sturgill Simpson and Jonny Greenwood’s film scores. There’s a lot of great stuff out there right now.
Can you tell us about the inspiration for the track “Howl At The Moon?”
For many people, I had a lot of close friends that grew up real fast. They were a big part of the inspiration for that track.
What is it about folk and country elements that attract you guys to this sound?
Some of the colors just fitted nicely with our songs that we were working on. It tied the tracks together in such a nice way. Lots of those types of sounds you tend to naturally with storytelling, which was definitely something we were attracted too. It was fun to mix different elements together and not think too much about it.
After the EP release, what’s next? What can fans look forward to?
We’ll be playing shows soon, and we’re working on some new songs that push these sort of sounds further out there. It’s fun watching it evolve as it goes.
