The Hush Now 'Constellations' out soon
Its not often that a band comes along and sweeps fans, bloggers and critics off their feet before playing a single gig. That was the case last year after Boston quintet The Hush Now released their self-titled debut. As the Boston Phoenix put it, the album meshed lush sugar-spun melodies of shoegazes dreamy heyday to the hooky muscle of bands like Guided by Voices and Built To Spill. Produced by David Newton of The Mighty Lemon Drops and released last October, the debut climbed independent radio top 100 charts and drew comparisons to Prefab Sprout, Teenage Fanclub, and The Ocean Blue, among others. Blog buzz and radio play by BBC 6 further fueled interest in the band. All the while, the band had already finished recording album number two. |
