Reviews
“We think you'll like this one. . . .Vermont-based indie-folk duo Hungrytown (singer-guitarist Rebecca Hall and multi-instrumentalist Ken Anderson) have an ethereal take on folk on ‘Footprints‘ – a bit Espers / Meg Baird in feel, as it sinuously moves through an unsettling psych-folk landscape. ”

“I love the sound of Rebecca Hall's voice. There's a sweetness and a worldly wisdom, in perfect balance.”
— Roger McGuinn
“My absolute favorite track of the album has to be Hungrytown's 'Footprints,' a gorgeous folk tune with banjo, fiddles, and an eerie ambience. . . .hauntingly beautiful." ”
“Written by Rebecca Hall and Ken Anderson, 'Footprints' plays to Hungrytown’s strengths. Never has Rebecca’s voice sound so eerie and spectral. The goosebump-inducing instrumental backing is spot-on, largely in part to Ken’s gifted skills on different instruments and behind the production board. The whole thing sounds like it had come out of some cursed music box. The video is exceptionally well done; the visuals to 'Footprints' as disquieting as they are trippy. I can hardly think of anyone with better taste in music, and that clearly shows in their own.” - Steve Peck
“Timeless songwriting and gorgeous harmonies. The duo leans heavily into that '70s UK folk sound popularized by progressive-pastoral artists such as Vashti Bunyon, Pentangle and Sandy Denny. Many of the songs sound like traditional ballads crafted long ago, but they came straight from Hall and Anderson, who move through eras with ease. Hall's vocal is as ethereal as mist on the moor.” - Chris Farnsworth
“Sonic brilliance. They exist on an ethereal level, musically, and produce a sound that is haunting and classic. Circus For Sale is the absolute best sound they have created to date. Extremely well-thought-out, meticulously composed and brilliantly executed. Do yourself a favor, and get it. ” - TONE Scott
“Circus for Sale is a truly wonderful album, one I will be returning to often and comes highly recommended. ” - Andrew Young
“Vermont baroque/indie folk artists Hungrytown are a throwback with their carefully crafted recording and ethereal vocals, hearkening back to favorites such as Pentangle and Fairport Convention.”
