Hallelujah the Hills' Collective Psychosis Begone utilizes a line-up of bass, drums, cello, Moog, trumpet, melodica, sampler and plenty of guitars granting them the space to expand and contract as their melodies and arrangements see fit. Unlike some of their anthemic peers, Hallelujah the Hills find solace in the space between their crashing crescendos and choral peaks and that's a subtle strength of the band. It grants the songs a great diversity, from amped-up campfire sing-alongs to somber ballads. You'll hear notable traces of Spoon-style boogie, Thermals lo-fi fight songs, and Dylan's thick imagery dressed in dustbowl rags.
