The Hush Sound!

Surprise, school is busy.  Due to preparing for an exam remediation and a bit of rejiggering of priorities (still working on that), the blog has taken a bit of a back seat.  But here's some music to enjoy!

All three tracks are by one of my current favorite bands, The Hush Sound.  I have to thank my sister, Mandy, for introducing me to this group.  Heavy use of piano, male and female vocalists, and a very peppy sound--what's not to love?  The female lead is Greta Salpeter, and I love her semi-smoky voice, which is why these particular three tracks made it in.  Break the Sky, the 3rd track, is probably the best of the bunch--if you just listen to one of the songs, make it that one.

Sadly, the group is currently on hiatus while Greta and the male lead (Bob Morris) pursue their own solo projects: Gold Motel and Debate Team.  I will investigate them both to see what I think.  Rumor has it that there will be one last reunion show in Chicago in December.  Seeing as Illinois is no longer as far away as it used to be, do I smell a road trip?
