Today’s Random Album of the Day is Spells from The Happy Hollows. They are considered Indie Rock / Noise Rock. I’d say more Indie Rock than Noise Rock but I see how that somewhat fits too.

I like how this album weaves between poppy-ish songs and noisy songs. It has a good amount of catchiness along with a good healthy dose of noise. Guitars tend to be jangly to heavily distorted and back again which I can get along with. At the same time I don’t think it’s a top top pick for me, but it’s solidly good.

Rating: 9.2

Favorite Track(s): “Faces” is good. It’s a bit poppy in a good way. Catchy and very indie sounding too. “Silver” is great. Love the noisy aspect to this song. “Lieutenant” and “Father Time” I liked both of these. “Delorean” is good with the more droning guitars which then get nice and noisy. Something about the tilting vocals in “Tambourine” really works for me.

Keep or Trash: Keep. They have some newer albums which I think I’ll give a listen…
