the hope

"I've spent a fair amount of time swooning over dreamy male vocalists, but The Hope have recently made me bat for the other team. Well, musically speaking." -Megan Seling, The Stranger



"The Hope has the quirky, literate nature of Suzanne Vega. Except with better tunes". -Onetimesone.com



"How on earth have these girls done it? They've created a unique sound, complete with a haunting backdrop, simple lyrics and mysterious vocals. The entire album is as cozy as a cool fall day cuddled up inside with tea and a blanket. The album starts about strong with "Not About You (The Lament)" which begins with a piano interlude and continues on with Shelby Earl singing, "And there was one thing/One thing I never could explain Letting you go, letting you go/Remorse was one thing/One thing I never could control/Letting you go, letting you go." In "Keep This for Me," Earl sings, "Your last kiss drew more from me/Than I meant to give/How easily we take away everything we live." Combining the sounds of Katie Trotta, Imogen Heap and Maren Ord with a bit of an old-time sound in parts like Billie Holiday minus the jazz, Earl and Katie Freeze are a hot duo that deserves to get noticed." -Discoveringartists.com
