Billboard

“lo-fi yet powerful... some incredibly fine songs.”

The Washington Post

“[Killers & Stars is a] bleak, beautiful document... veteran fans will devour Hood's experiment in artistic therapy with gusto.”

3 and a half stars from Winston-Salem Journal
(out of 4) Winston-Salem Journal

“Hood's sharp songwriting probes the darkness of Southern closets... think of him as the Tennessee Williams of Alabama songwriters.”

3 and a half stars from Winston-Salem Journal
Austin Chronicle

“[Killers & Stars is] stark and lo-fi, haunting, beautiful, and ragged.”

“like [Bruce Springsteen's] Nebraska, Killers and Stars is an album whose plain surfaces and rough edges only add to the impact of the final work.”

Knoxville Metro Pulse

“Killers & Stars confirms that Hood is one hell of a songwriter.”
