hope for agoldensummer is very grateful for all the positive PRESS.
You write 'em, we'll post 'em...

Metro Spirit, 2009 ... Complete and disturbing, "Ariadne Thread" shows just how cultured, raw, stripped down, and yet cerebral Hope for Agoldensummer really are.

Resonator Magazine, 2008 ... The thing with the soulful vocals, the soft finger-plucked instrumentation-it's all so damn tangible, so damn human, so present. So much of the redemptive quality of all of Hope ForAgoldensummer's music comes from that ever-present (even in darkness) humanity...

Eyedrum Gallery, 2005 ... Front porch rocking chair bluegrass country concoction. The south never had it so good.


Philadelphia City Paper, 2005 ... Sisters Claire and Page Campbell sing about God and heartbreak like they're drunk on their own glorious harmonies and have all the time in the world.

Rough Trade Records, 2005 ... an exceptional, haunting debut from hope for a golden summer...this is strange, soulful and deeply affecting stuff. think a rural cocorosie, an ornate cat power or a female arcade fire.
