Stereogum —
Ryan H. Walsh, the person behind the long-running Boston band Hallelujah The Hills, is a writer as well as a musician. In 2018, for instance, Walsh published his book Astral Weeks: A Secret History Of 1968, and we published an excerpt back then. Walsh has written a couple of things specifically for Stereogum, too, including a 2016 deep-dive into the making of the Silver Jews’ classic The Natural Bridge. Back when the Silver Jews were still a semi-functional band, Hallelujah The Hills toured with them. Now, Hallelujah The Hills are announcing a massive new four-album project, and their new single features the Silver Jews’ Cassie Berman, David’s widow. She’s one of many guests who appears on the massive new undertaking DECK.
