The Hush Sound

SO SO sorry for my extended absence! I have had an extreme case of music ADD lately! I have been gaining roughly 30 songs a day over the past few months, making it difficult to blosk everything but one artist out! The good news is that if I can ever focus, I will never run out of artists to introduce you to!

So for now, I present The Hush Sound!

This is a very young indie quartet who rose to fame within a year of releasing their first album. By the way, their first album sold 300 copies in two days, even though they were not with a label at the time. Crazy, huh? They got their break when a member of fall out boy listened to their tape and decided it was good enough to sign to his label, not even a year after their first recording. I was completely amazed at how quickly this band rose through the ranks. Clearly they are doing something right.

The first thing to catch my attention about this band (besides how incredibly young they are... just out of high school) was that they have two lead singers, Greta Salpeter and Bob Morris. I know that it isn't incredibly consistent for a band's sound two switch back and forth, but it kept me interested enough to listen to all three of their albums.

This would probably never be one of my favorite bands, but I enjoy them a lot. Their sound is very indie piano rock... whatever that means. They almost remind me of Panic! at the Disco, but a bit less pop. Overall, I think they have slowly crept into my long long list of "regularly-listened-to" music.

The first four on the playlist are my favorites.
