Hope rewarded, December 16, 2005
This review is from: I Bought A Heart Made of Art In The Deep, Deep South (Audio CD)
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!

This music is straight from the clear, cold water of HFag's deep-running souls. It's been the soundtrack of my life for two years now. Utterly gorgeous.

THE BEST BAND IN ATHENS?, August 25, 2005
This review is from: I Bought A Heart Made of Art In The Deep, Deep South (Audio CD)
Yes, "Hope for a Goldensummer" (H-FAG) is definitely the best band in Athens, GA, and that it quite an accomplishment if one takes into account the excellent bands coming from that town (REM, Love Tractor, Pylon). I lived in Athens for one year, and I was lucky to see them 4 times live... Believe me: the music of this band is magical. It's honest, deep, intelligent and made with the heart. They have done what few achieve: play their songs in a way that people like it, and express their feeling in a way that people understand. They communicate what they want to say in a perfect manner. This band deserves to be BIG, to be on the Billboard, and become a well-known band. If you decide to buy the album, listen to the last song "Laying down the gun"... polyphonic perfection!!
If this wonderful quintet decides to honor your town by playing there, be sure to not miss it.
