"We locals find it funny to call Spells the debut of Happy Hollows. The band has been rocking Los Angeles for a couple years now, so this is hardly an introduction. Instead, Spells serves up a whopping mouthful. Sarah Negahdari rips her guitar open like a bag of candy, smothering herself in gooey sticky delirium. She might be the wild woman, but Charles Mahoney (bass) and Chris Hernandez (drums) absolutely get it. While their playing might not include crashing into any free-standing objects at their perimeter, these guys force out the rhythm straight and hard—they’re the solid foundation upon which lead guitar scrapes its nails. Spells opens fast with “Faces.” The bass is clean, the drums tight, the guitar glows ecstatically, and the words begin with a loose theme of triumph against opposition." -- (L.A. Record)
