CRITIC REVIEWS
85
HITH is a mellow, exploratory affair, with drum machines, acoustic guitars and bottleneck slides being dreamily deployed at key moments to break up the Krautrock churn.

The record’s intense, shadowy first half and airy, graceful second half culminates in an mercurial odyssey that unabashedly celebrates TOY’s eccentricities.

TOY have returned with their boldest statement of intent to date.

TOY continue to put their own unique spin on psychedelia with Happy in the Hollow, and it’s one that clearly works, but ultimately the record lacks in any kind of urgency and doesn’t push much further on what the band have already achieved with previous albums.

It sounds like they’re in danger of losing their way.
much less interesting than 2016 release Clear Shot. lots of meandering, which is unlike previous work by TOY. it really drags in places.
Happy in the Hollow is the sound of death in the middle of nowhere

A little bit drab and underwhelming, but overall an honest and solid effort from one of Indie Rock's most undervalued acts.
