Boston, MA’s Hallelujah the Hills have recently released their third album, No One Knows What Happens Next on Discrete Pageantry Records after a successful Kickstarter campaign. It follows a similar pattern to their previous work, although the production has been cleaned up, losing some of the fuzz from 2009’s Colonial Drones. The lyrics are still nicely strange and surreal and the entire-band sing-a-longs also make a reappearance (for instance in the catchy chorus of the Pavement-esque lead track that you can hear in the player below). Overall the album comes with my recommendation. Alright, you could argue that it’s not going to change the face of modern music, but it’s fun and interesting enough to warrant repeated plays. Grab the album from the band’s Bandcamp.
