THE HUSH SOUND - Goodbye Blues

The Hush Sound offer something different than the monotony of today`s oversaturated music scene. This indie-folk-pop-rock band spurts out songs full of catchy guitar riffs, uplifting piano parts, and layered male/female vocals. Their style is hard to pinpoint, but it`s original and imaginative. Influences range from Paul Simon, Ben Folds to The Shins to The Format. The album bridges an expanse between invitingly catchy pop buoyancy and a certain emotional and intellectual depth The Hush Sound has never fully explored before. Standout tracks like Medicine Man , Honey and Hurricane reveal not only the group s new sense of maturity, but their burgeoning skill for sculpting emotive, relatable songs that exist not just as moments of music.

�3 � stars. So while Goodbye Blues is one of the most mature releases in recent Ramen history, it's not altogether cohesive, with Morris' songs all but banishing Salpeter's piano in favor of guitar-based progressions (and, by extension, banishing the one thing that helps the band truly stand out). But when the bandmates are on -- when Greta Salpeter leads her boys through the sexy stomp of "The Boys Are Too Refined" and the poppy big band strains of "Medicine Man"�-AMG.
