Kalen is moved by the gritty side of life and respects those who are struggling with inherited or self-induced negative states of mind. ‘Mindless’ comes from that state of mind, lost, isolated, describing hallucinogenic episodes and schizophrenic-like symptoms.
Kalen says ‘‘Mindless’ is a song about mental illness. It describes hallucinogenic episodes and schizophrenic like feelings. We are taken on a journey with a person who is well into literally losing their mind.’
About Kalen
Kalen Hogan debuted onto the local Central Coast music scene in late 2022 and proudly launched his debut album ‘Isolation’ in May 2023. Keen to kick off the new year with new singles, he released ‘On The Phone’ and ‘Right There’ earlier this year.
As an alternate indie rock singer-songwriter, Kalen proudly admits to being inspired by the 1990’s grunge movement, with a real reverence for bands like Nirvana and Alice in Chains. Kalen sings about the complexities of everyday life, with an open heart and keen observing eye. His pure vocal tone has been described as sounding reminiscent of Thom Yorke from Radiohead and the late Jeff Buckley.
You can catch Kalen performing live at various venues and events across the Coast.
