Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. Over their history, Ha Ha Tonka has recorded four critically acclaimed albums, toured the world, played Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits, and appeared on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. Through it all, these Ozarks natives have made friends, found love, started familes, and grown and matured together. Heart-Shaped Mountain is a reflection of that development and maturity. Once aptly summed as "Indie-Americana, where Alabama meets Arcade Fire, " Ha Ha Tonka has expanded their sonic palette, unveiling balanced, sublime, pop radio accessible heights and an emotionally broader, post-punk songwriting range, a la Apache Relay or a less enigmatic Jonsi, while keeping their trademark harmonizing vocals, jangly Southern revelry and crunchy hooks fully in tact. At it's core, Heart-Shaped Mountain is an album about love and growth. At a time when divisiveness fills the headlines, Ha Ha Tonka is fighting the good fight, building narrative-tributes to friends and loved ones, memories past and prospects of the future.

I love these guys and their music
Ha Ha Tonka deserves all the success that they want and can handle. They are such good songwriters and performers and are wise beyond their years. Catch them when they come to your town.

These guys give it...
For all the garbage, over-produced music in our great land, this band serves as a strong antidote. I'll never understand why they haven't realized mass appeal. Have a listen to this album, and their album Death of a Decade, for a boost of energy and layered complexity. Enjoy!

2004年Brian Robertsを中心にスプリングフィールドにて結成されたフォークロックバンドHa Ha Tonkaの5作目。ドラムスにブルーグラス・パンクバンドHoots & HellmouthのMike Reillyが、前作「Lessons」にも参加していたちょいひねくれ系フォークポップバンドThe Spring StandardsのJames Cleareが新たにメンバー入り。なので、今までとはけっこう異なる方向性。クールでキラキラとしたカレッジロック、インディーフォーク、ポストパンクな感覚。前作までのフォークロック、温かみあるマウンテンフォークミュージックな感触が好きだっただけにちょい残念。しかしBrian Robertsを中心としたソングライティング力、美しい音作り含め実力あるバンドなのは間違いない。Fleet Foxes、Arcade Fire、Nationalあたりがお好きなら。
