Goodbye Blues (Pop-Alternative Rock)
Fueled by Ramen/ Atlantic
With a female pianist for a lead vocalist and three other boys backing her up, The Hush Sound is definitely one of the most refreshing and unique young bands out there all set to conquer the music scene. And with a new album out entitled Goodbye Blues, their completely ready for mass consumption.
Goodbye Blues is a fairly sundry album for a pop band, with a line up of songs of varying tempos, alternating between male guitarist/vocalist Bob Morris and lead vocalist Greta Salpeter. Frontwoman Salpeter’s voice defines all the tracks with a spunky grip, making her verses sound incredible that you tend to memorize the peppy verses instead of the choruses.
The third album, consisting of 13 songs, isn’t really complex, but would absolutely showcase their talents as musicians. “Medicine Man”, “As You Cry” and “Not Your Concern” are just a handful of songs that stand out beyond the rest because of the playful beats
Overall, The Hush Sound has done justice to blending pop music with a bit of rock and creativity. Certainly not a great follow-up to their 2006 album “Like Vines,” but it sure is something different from what we usually hear out there nowadays.
