Their most recent record, the Ugly Organ racked up considerable accolades: named one of 2003's best records by Blender, called "the best album of (the band's) career" by the NY Times, and given a 4-star rating by Rolling Stone. Happy Hollow is an expansion of their trademark discordant swell, marked by a new bounce, a buoyant strut, and a recognition that hey, this is fun. The themes addressed here include shattered American dreams, small town malaise, and religious hypocrisy.
