Comments: From the promoter:
"With a summer tour supporting Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Surfer Blood, Hooray for Earth seem poised to enter the hearts of indie cognoscenti everywhere this summer. Though their name evokes feelings of pure ebullience (and indeed there is an undeniable joyfulness to the Boston/NYC group's unique take on synth pop), a dark cloud of mystic juju hangs over the band's latest release, Momo. Like indie-psych godfathers Flaming Lips, Hooray for Earth excel at mixing tragedy with bliss and banality with reverence while serving it all up in a Technicolor mealstom of swirling atmospheres and glorious fuzz."
Summery synthy pop with enough bass to keep things from getting too cute. For fans of Real Estate, Flaming Lips, and The Radio Dept. Start with "Surrounded by Your Friends."
