Reviews:
We like Rock, Roll, Fire, and Magic; bold, brass and ballsy. Reminded us of Cold War Kids in places. Undertow was my particular favourite. It's made the short trip from Mac to my iPod. If you're ever in the Uk, drop us a line.
-Graham Surman, Coercion Records UKThe best piece on the album is probably Entre Dientes , a soft, acoustic ballad with wonderfully orchestrated guitars. With a sort of Postal Service optimism, they sing "And we'll dance / You and me / In this place / We'll be free." Somehow, among countless thousands of heart-on-the-sleeve indie anthems, HHH make this one stand out... The recording quality is unabashedly lo-fi, but eager vocals and clever songwriting are what make this album shine: as Dan and Kevin sing on opener Come On , "Lord knows I'm not perfect / But for you I'd damn well try."
-Amie Street Artist of the WeekBands like Pavement prove that if sloppiness is harnessed properly it can be used to one's advantage, and I feel like The Hungry Hungry Hypocrites—highlighted as they are by loose but charming drumming—are figuring that out. Each song has its own sound, which is cool. One features a trumpet, another a marching beat, another a melody that wanders into a super high falsetto. The performances have not yet caught up with the songwriting, but this is a good snapshot of a band finding their sound.
