What people are saying about Happy Hollow:
“Cursive haven't just redefined their sound--they've transcended it.” 5/5. - AP
4 stars. - Spin, Blender, URB, Time Out New York
3.5 stars. - Rolling Stone
A-. Pick of the Week. The A List. - Entertainment Weekly
“True American Gothic” - Harp
“...furiously gear-shifting punk-pop, full of horn blasts and arty production tricks ... never fails to rock the sermon.” - Blender
"Cursive's most focused and evolved record yet...(their) best ever." - Nylon
"Another fiery, sardonic album. Grade: A." - The Onion
"'Retreat' is the the best "letter to the Almighty" pop song since 'Dear God' by XTC." - Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun-Times
"It's rather brilliant...a personal (and personnel) triumph for the band." - Magnet
"The Omaha indie band meets the concept-album challenge on its latest, "Happy Hollow," setting to surging, clamoring rock the saga of racial and religious conflicts in a fictional small town." - Richard Cromelin, Los Angeles Times
“Kasher has traded such woe-is-me sentiment for a set of more engaging musical arrangements, applying booming gospel voices and Dixieland horns to his band’s spastic art-rock posturing” - Spin
“Where other indie-rock lover boys are content to play cute, (Kasher) asks questions, makes demands, promises impossibilities, exploring the ugly places in the heart. But that’s why he’s an original, testifying about love with the conviction of a young indie Springsteen” 3-1/2 stars. - Rolling Stone
"Happy Hollow swings with the nutty abandon of Madness, sharpened with the literate punk frenzy of Fugazi." 4 Stars. - Magnet
