Hollow Meadows is the seventh full-length solo album by British singer-songwriter Richard Hawley released on September 11, 2015. It is his second record on the Parlophone label.

Development

After promotion had completed on his previous record Standing at the Sky's Edge, Hawley worked on the soundtrack for the film Love is All. Hawley wrote much of the album while recovering from a broken leg and slipped disc. Hawley referred to the song "Sometimes I Feel" as a turning point during the album's sessions. Much of what ended up on the album are the raw demos, which Hawley says helped keep the record small.
