Album Notes & Community Reviews

Propelled by an unlikely mainstream hit, the New York avant-garde troupe brought their absurdist spoken-word narratives to a broader commercial audience. 'Happy Hour' juxtaposes John S. Hall's deadpan, stream-of-consciousness poetry with driving, alternative rock instrumentation. The record serves as a quirky, cynical commentary on modern existentialism.
