The Happy Hollows: BeatCrave Fav

We’re not sure why it is The Happy Hollows‘ music tickles us they way it does. It could be any number of things, really. For instance, it could be the brand of energy that inspires a rolling unending rhythm one second, then something more mellow, almost sedated in another. It could be that – however we try to not draw comparisons – lead vocalist Sarah Negahdari seems to indirectly be  taking on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O in a battle of screaming, squealing pitch with every song she sings.

Perhaps it could be that the Los Angeles-based outfit is only three strong, yet they rock it hard as if they were one or two more. We don’t know, and frankly we don’t care, so long as we’re supplied a steady stream of their special brew of whirlwind, eclectic sound. Yes, for either or all of the aforementioned, The Happy Hollows has found their place – freshly dusted off, naturally – in our BeatCrave Fav series.
