Album Notes

Signed to Grandaddy's label Sweat of the Alps, Built Like Alaska are from Oakdale, CA. They've known each other for years, and Grandaddy thinks they are really great folks, but most importantly they make great songs and know how to record them well. "Hopalong" was recorded at their country manor in early 2002...

REVIEWS

Great album
author: Chris Mussen
This is an amazing collection of songs. I, too, heard about the album through the Grandaddy website. I then proceeded to purchase the album from CD Baby after listening to the song samples they had. It's even better than I thought it would be. From short songs to long songs to quiet songs to loud songs, Hopalong's got it all. Strange, yet perfect. If you like the Grandaddy-esque sound you really need to buy this. I've listened to the album about 6 times today and I'm not even close to being tired of it. Great stuff.

Such Special Music.......
author: Rav Dylan
This is a special album, if you are considering buying it, don't wait, the price is a fraction of what its worth, shell out the dollars. I bought it a few weeks ago and its never left my Cd player, exceptional album, beautiful songs, when are these guys gonna tour the UK ?

Glad to have it in my collection!

Definitely a bit of the quieter and deeper Grandaddy sound, but also more like the contemplative Sparklehorse and Mercury Rev. Glad I have it!
