I Hope It Lands is an album by the American band Thinking Fellers Union Local 282. [3] [4] It was released in 1996 through Communion Records. [5] [6]
The Orlando Sentinel called the album "another mad collection of brief sound collages, twisted pop tunes and fractured chunks of art-rock." [2] The Santa Fe New Mexican concluded that "their songs are like singing telegrams from the distant cosmic spring that flows down to both Sonic Youth and Captain Beefheart." [7] Trouser Press declared that "the band has the miraculous group-mind of a flock of birds, and the record flows like nothing they’ve ever done before—even the little noise-twiddles are part of the record’s grand mid-air arc." [8]
All tracks are written by Thinking Fellers Union Local 282.
