hope for agoldensummer is very grateful for all the positive PRESS.
You write ‘em, we’ll post ‘em…
This is a tiny sampling. For a list of every album review, interview, podcast or prestigious award we’ve ever received, please visit our PRESS ARCHIVE.
Columbia Free Times … The Campbell sisters write songs similarly to how Flannery O’Connor or Cormac McCarthy wrote prose: Barren yet evocative, ethereal and eloquent, built about invigorating imagery, and utterly transfixing. That last one’s due in part — perhaps in whole — to the Campbell’s majestic harmonies and penchant for heart-rending melodies.
Time Out NY... Part junkyard orchestra, part campfire song circle, Hope For Agoldensummer conjures luminous, moody balladry.
Washington Post… Haunting folk music of a sort, performed with singing saws, pennywhistles and an eclectic assortment of other instruments.
Independent Weekly … Hope for Agoldensummer puts the Southern soul of Page and Claire Campbell in rustic, ramshackle settings—call it impressionistic Americana.
New City Arts… Something both unique and mysteriously familiar.
Metro Spirit … Complete and disturbing, “Ariadne Thread” shows just how cultured, raw, stripped down, and yet cerebral Hope for Agoldensummer really are.
Resonator Magazine … 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 For Agoldensummer’s music comes from that ever-present (even in darkness) humanity…
Eyedrum Gallery… Front porch rocking chair bluegrass country concoction. The south never had it so good.
Philadelphia City Paper… 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… 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.
