Hold Your Horse Is (Deluxe Reissue)
“The Sacramento duo’s 2002 debut album might be the platonic ideal of math rock, but its real joy lies in the way it seems to escape the bounds of logic altogether.”
Bitches Ain't Shit But Good People - EP
“Travis: Alright, dude, here's what we got: two EPs by these Hella fuckkers. Guitar-and-drums duo from Sacramento... don't we know these guys? Aaron: Hold up.

“Spencer Seim and Zach Hill's shapeshifting unit records its first album for Ipecac, and here their once freeform compositions tend to concede more readily to conventional rock structures.”
The Devil Isn't Red
“I envision Hella canvassing stacks of *Nintendo Power* back issues in mom's attic, eulogizing the primitive lure of 8-bit home gaming.

Acoustics
“Zach Hill and Spencer Seim offer precise acoustic versions of tracks from their recent albums Hold Your Horse Is and The Devil Isn't Red.”
Tripper
“After revamping into a five-piece supergroup for 2007's There's No 666 in Outer Space, Hella's back to their original two-piece incarnation and business as usual.”
