Hallelujah The Hills Marks 10 Years of Cosmic Americana, Tracks New LP, Shares Rejected Album Titles, Rocks Somerville, Mass. Friday

Boston indie rock institution Hallelujah The Hills this month marks its 10th anniversary, no small feat given our society's fractured attention spans and the constant threat of... what's that bullshit called, where the world is supposed... oh right, Rapture. The Rapture, it could kill us all or something, but laughing in the face of non-laughing things resides among the panoply of charms at work in the music of Hallelujah The Hills. The band is four albums and change into a luminous, Chevy Chase-marred, government-surveilled career, and indeed just finished tracking a fifth -- tentatively titled Deluxer Mandatory and slated for release in spring 2016 -- in upstate New York last week. Deluxer Mandatory rolls off the tongue nicely, yes? Sounds a bit like a mid-century sedan model with deep, chrome ashtrays, no? But is it an improvement upon the five rejected album titles that Clicky Clicky can exclusively reveal to you via the video embedded above? Did you just watch that? Did you expect to see that much fur?

Anyhoo, it's gratifying that in this topsy-turvy world things can proceed business-as-usual, but it is important to stop and refl... nah, that's bullshit, too. It's important to play rock shows, dammit, and that is what the band is doing this Friday night at Cuisine En Locale in Somerville, Mass., where the quintet will be joined by Adam Schatz's influential grow-fi outfit Landlady and Eternals. Hit this link for the most complete information one can find about the show without jumping in a TARDIS. Below are a couple embeds of some hot HtH tunes, not our top serious faves, as Bandcamp sometimes is a fickle beast, but each one is certainly very worthy of the HtH name. Dig them. Deluxer Mandatory is available now for pre-order as an LP, CD or digital download right here, where you can also view the 12-song track list and gaze upon the pre-order premiums on offer (note that the raffle mentioned at that link is now over, but you may still pre-order the hell out of the record). And just because we love it, have you seen this video for one of Adam Schatz's other projects, The Shoe-Ins? So, to review: album coming; pre-order album; watch short video clip; attend rock show. You can do this. We can help. Call today to find out how.
