Hallelujah The Hills

…of Summer 2010 Singles
Released on June 15, 2010

• Ampeater Review – July 8, 2010

  Hallelujah the Hills’s lyrics are full of couplets that are clever and funny and touching and use words that you have probably not recently heard in a rock song, like, say, documentarian or cohorts, without sacrificing any of the rhythm that lyrics have to have to carry a rock song. AND they have loud guitars. What more could you ask for?

…of Colonial Drones
Released by Misra Records on September 22, 2009

• Prefix – September 22, 2009

  …as catchy as each song can be, what grew on me is how they all mesh into a cohesive whole.

• The Boston Phoenix – September 22, 2009

  It’s this open-minded and open-ended approach that has made HTH one of Boston’s most prized pop possessions. We’re not likely to hear a local album that trumps the wonders of Colonial Drones anytime soon.

• The Line Of Best Fit – September 23, 2009

  Colonial Drones, as the title aptly suggests, is a work full of fantasy-like explorations, laden with anthemic choruses and lyrics freely open for interpretation.

• The Weekly Dig – September 22, 2009

  It doesn't take long to realize this album is something extra special.

…of Prepare To Qualify
Released on April 8, 2008

• Tracer – May 5, 2008

  There is an element of cacaphony in Prepare to Qualify, but it keeps you guessing. It keeps you captivated all the while wondering, “Why in the hell am I so interested?” Just keep listening - it’ll hit you eventually, and I guarantee you’ll keep coming back to it.

…of Collective Psychosis Begone
Released by Misra Records on June 5, 2007

• The Boston Globe – August 24, 2008

  It's the sound of music without limits, made by a band reveling in its own vast creative potential and the cumulative collision of its early influences.

• Soundcheck Magazine – August 10, 2007

  There’s something intimate about this album — it feels as if you’re in a room with these guys, and they laugh at your jokes, and they play a few songs, and you applaud, then you all go out and get drunk together.

• Pitchfork – June 22, 2007

  The band's ensemble structure (cello, trumpet, and melodica) and learned lyricism echoes the stage-packing sounds of Arcade Fire, Danielson, Bright Eyes, and Decemberists, while its shambolic, maximalist barroom aura recalls Robert Pollard, another songwriter infrequently at a loss for words.
