"Happy Hollow" is the fifth album by the indie rock band Cursive. It was released on August 22, 2006 on Saddle Creek Records. Saddle Creek Records began shipping pre-orders on August 8, 2006. The album is named after a rich neighborhood in Omaha, Nebraska.

The album is the first since the departure of cellist Gretta Cohn [ [http://www.punknews.org/article/13564 Cellist Gretta Cohn leaves Cursive] ] whose instrumentation was a fixture of the band's 2003 release "The Ugly Organ". The album features significant five-piece horn arrangements courtesy of Nate Walcott. [ [http://www.punknews.org/article/16539 Cursive talks about upcoming full length] ]

The lyrics of "Happy Hollow" form a concept album of sorts, revolving around a small town and its inhabitants, and dealing with concepts such as religious dogma and hypocrisy.

This album came with a download code to download the songs in mp3 format directly from Saddle Creek Records. Pre-orders of the album came with a miniature license plate that had a code to download a bonus track entitled "No News Is Bad News".
