Hallelujah The Hills’ 2009 sophomore album, Colonial Drones, was a promising, spirited bit of a underdog indie-rock that featured a terrific lead single in “Blank Passports”. To prepare for their upcoming summer slot opening for one of this year’s breakout success stories, Titus Andronicus, the Boston-based 6 piece has released two new free singles to the internet. “That Ticking Sound You Hear” is a slowly building, rickety bit of indie-folk that has an experimental underbelly, and “Introductory Saints” has a barroom feel to it as it chugs along. Both are worth hearing and again show a band with a big upside. Have a listen:
