Hallelujah the Hills
If you read this site regularly, you know I am a huge
fan of Hallelujah the Hills. The band's literate
songwriting, musicianship and exuberant performances
make me one of their most vociferous fans. The band is
heading out on an October tour, and is offering fans
two new songs to whet their appetites (the other song
will be posted on Stereogum later this week).

Plus, Bradley's Almanac has posted a live solo set by
Hallelujah the Hills frontman Ryan Walsh. Enjoy.
I have been lucky to catch the band both as Hallelujah
the Hills and in its former incarnation, the Stairs,
and have always left their live performances wanting
them to become my personal house band.

"Monster Eyes"

Did you bring the ice skates?
Novelist/music writer Jonathan Lethem recently issued
a challenge: randomly inviting musicians to actualize
the fictional centerpiece of his recent rock-and-roll
novel You Don't Love Me Yet „ an invented opus called
"Monster Eyes." So far,
Lethem's posted two versions on his site
and they're . . . meh.
Not even remotely on the same planet of greatness as
what's posted (here for the first time on the
Internet!) below.
The band responsible is Hallelujah the Hills, a Boston
six-piece who're not crunk, black metal, or western
swing despite MySpace reports to the contrary.
Ostensibly named for the ridiculous 1963 Adolfas Mekas
indie-comedy, HtH is actually a happy, poppy joyous
Moog/cello/Melodica musical collective who finished
third in Salon's Song Search for their eponymous fight
song "Hallelujah the Hills." Sort of impressive
considering that one of the bands they lost to was
Bishop Allen.
Hallelujah the Hills's recorded stuff has always been
pretty great, but "Monster Eyes" is fifty shades of
AM-radio awesome.
Admittedly, Lethem's lyrics look kind of dumb on the
page ("Get you/out of range/of my/monster/eyes"), but
somehow they've managed to turn the four-line refrain
into an absolutely gorgeous piece of psychedelic '60s
pop„ the Moody Blues without the melodrama, Love
without the drugs. Call the musical glossies: this
might just be the "Best Song You've Never Heard."
Tonight, Hallelujah the Hills open at the Mercury
Lounge, playing at the unenviable time of 7pm. You
should kill time before the Ponys and go. What else
are you gonna do?
