FROM CD BABY:
The debut full length album from Signal Hill is a melodic 60+ minute journey of mid-tempo dreamy instrumental music.
"The new Signal Hill album has a great expanse of sound that envelopes and takes the listener on a ride of sound with vision……..Most albums these days are made with the idea of putting a bunch of singles together to make money. People can buy the best songs they like off itunes and never get what the artist was trying to say. Signal Hill put together a great piece of art that starts at one place and takes you through a trip that ends at a certain place" Seamus Simpson - Radio Free Silverlake
"Signal Hill takes the passionate, heart-wrenching, and epic sound perfected by bands like Explosions in the Sky and distills it to its very essence." - Stephen Chamberlain - Decoy Music.com
"It’s always nice when you randomly find a promising new band on myspace – and it’s even better when that band illustrates exactly why your initial impressions should be trusted" - Richard White - The Silent Ballet
"Signal Hill opened the show with an impassioned instrumental set. Lush layering of clean plucking driven by busy bass lines and punchy drums comprise Signal Hill's sound. Crowd pleasers like 'This New Year's Absence' exuded unbearable pangs of passion. I haven't felt this moved by an instrumental band since Explosions In The Sky and the mere comparison speaks volumes about their worthiness. Signal Hill performs remarkably poignant instrumental rock that grasps your attention and never ceases to let go." - Joshua Pressman - LAIST.com
Interesting Trivia: The artwork on the first physical press of this album includes an error on the tracklisting on the back cover. described by the band on their website: http://signalhillmusic.com/2009/06/12/thanks-and-something-special/
