About the Artist

Hope For Agoldensummer is a 5-piece living and working in the fine towns of Athens and Atlanta, GA. A junkyard orchestra. An anarchist soul choir. They create rusty, gutter angel melodies in a sweaty, old, yellow house. This family has been together for 2.5 years, and each member continues to grow and develop the talents necessary to create the desired sounds. All five members play a variety of instruments: slide guitar, cello, eclectic percussion, xylophone, singing saw, piano and coke bottles. The defining trait of the band lies in the frighteningly beautiful vocals, which are executed primarily by vocalists Claire and Page Campbell. As sisters, their voices are similar enough to mesh with each other flawlessly, yet they are different enough to represent two distinct approaches to the material at hand. The instrumentation relies heavily on Will Taylor’s fancy cello stylings and the tasteful brush work of drummer Jamie Shepard. Deb Davis is their Johnny-on-the-spot, maneuvering from accordion to guitar to xylophone.

This CD is truly an experience. The songs individually are beautiful and moving, and taken as a whole it sets a heartbreaking but uplifting mood. It is good enough to listen to alone with headphones and nothing else, or to put on in the background. The lyrics are unique and paint a rich landscape of the south, but avoid being pretentious or overly wrought. I would list standout tracks, but over many listenings, each one has separated itself in its own way.

There is such beauty to this CD, you can't help but be transported by listening to it. I can't even describe it well enough. You will NOT regret buying this CD. If you have the chance to see them live, go!
