"There's something uniquely satisfying about Futurebirds' mix of dreamy, offbeat pop and heavy twang. It sounds like what could happen if a lap steel player ate a couple of magic mushrooms and zoned out to Pink Floyd's The Piper at the Gates of Dawn ..."
- Rolling Stone
Hotel Parties, the third release from Athens Georgia group Futurebirds, was recorded in Virginia, far away from the distractions of the band's hometown. Isolating themselves in the studio, the five members immersed themselves in this project, coming up with an album described by some critics as the band's best yet.
"... for all the common or unique themes, the motif for the record is duality: the give and take of life, dreams vs reality, loving vs. longing, wanting to grab life by the horns vs. needing to chill out, sleep vs. sanity, I could go on forever."
- Thomas Johnson, guitarist
