Οι The Hush Now είναι ένα indie powerpop κουιντέτο από τη Βοστώνη. Το πρώτο άλμπουμ τους με τίτλο το όνομά τους κυκλοφόρησε το 2008 και μπορείτε να το κατεβάσετε δωρεάν από τη σελίδα τους στο myspace. Το hoping and waiting [ωραίος τίτλος!] είναι το πρώτο single από το επερχόμενο δεύτερο άλμπουμ τους με τίτλο Constellations που θα κυκλοφορήσει τις πρώτες μέρες της νέας χρονιάς. Αν και δεν έχω προλάβει ακόμη να ακούσω το ντεμπούτο τους, φαντάζομαι θα δικαιολογεί το χαρακτηρισμό " indie shoegaze " που αποδίδεται συχνά στη μπάντα, με τις γνωστές επιρροές από [...]
Bass! The Hush Now - Hoping and Waiting. It's not very often you hear a song in which the bass drives everything forward, propelling the song toward that last second. It's especially effective in Boston band the Hush Now's "Hoping and Waiting", because it starts with that plaintive organ, and you're thinking to yourself, ah, okay. This is some shoegazer shit, time to daydream out the bus window. But then! Then it all goes crazy, bass-wise, and it only gets crazier: that opera singing guy, the "Penny Lane" trumpet, the song hurtling to oblivion while that bass carries it all...
The Hush Now: Constellations The indie rock quintet from Boston, MA known as The Hush Now self-release their sophomore album, Constellations . The album is a mixture of driving rhythms, fluffy pop, and jangly guitars. Like most good Bostonian bands, The Hush Now try to learn from some of the cities best bands. They've got the rhythm of the Modern Lovers , the indie rock sensibility of the Pixies , and fortunately nothing of Aerosmith . But despite the band's good qualities, Constellations feels like it never quite comes together. [...]

The Beatings , fresh off a short but successful tour, dazzled the hometown crowd from Great Scott's small stage Saturday night, playing selections from its newly issued collection Late Season Kids with a degree of control and confidence that we rarely see on said stage. The platform was flanked by black-garbed Mssrs. Skalicky and Keiber, anchored by the pogoing bassist Erin Dalbec and dead-serious drummer Dennis Grabowsi, and new-ish utility player Greg Lyon was wedged in a corner behind a keyboard with a guitar slung over one shoulder and a mad scientist's furrowed brow. The Beatings [...]
I've gone on record before to say that The Beatings ' 2006 release, Holding On To Hand Grenades , is just about my favorite local album evar. Those darn Beatings made us wait a whole three years before giving us more, but thankfully the wait was worth it and the new album, Late Season Kids , is juicy and delicious. It's already being called one of the best of the year by our homey Ryan (I of course concur). Catch them Saturday night at Great Scott with The [...]
"Hoping and Waiting" - the Hush Now After a church-like organ intro, "Hoping and Waiting" turns upbeat and unexpectedly contagious. I had to live with it a while for the catchiness to sink in, however; it's not a completely obvious hook. But after listening to it on and off for a few weeks, I noticed that it was beginning to pop unbidden into my head. This is almost always a sign of a song that I am liking more than I initially realize I'm liking it. The part [...]

Spoiler Alert: As one inevitably approaches his fortieth or fiftieth listen to the opening cut on The Hush Now 's sophomore set -- because it is that good -- the revelation strikes that the pulsing flow of the lyrics to "Contrails" suggests Chuck D's in the greatest hip-hop song of all time, "Don't Believe The Hype" (" they can't come on and play me in prime time ..."). That tangent aside, vocals and keyboard tower over the other elements of "Contrails," and we wish someone had depressed the " Superchunk Guitars" button during the mixing session for that [...]
![Review: The Beatings | Late Season Kids [MP3]](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/1939694_lg.jpg)
The title to Boston-slash-New York rockers The Beatings ' sixth full-length evokes the surging success of a pro sports franchise making all the right moves perhaps when least expected. Nearly a decade into the band's career (and well into certain members' thirties, marriages and parenthood) is an unlikely time to have created its best, most confident record -- and yet here it is. Late Season Kids is a triumph crafted by a quintet whose tenure is longer than many -- if not most -- big-leaguers and rock acts alike. Although The Beatings continue [...]

![The Hush Now: Hoping And Waiting [Track Review]](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/1921139_lg.jpg)
"Hoping And Waiting", off The Hush Now 's upcoming sophomore LP Constellations , sees the band progressing in their ability to craft a great pop song. Simple and packed with pop sensibilities, "Hoping And Waiting" shows more promise than the singles off the group's self-titled debut. The Hush Now's sunny pop is excellent summer fun. What's most surprising about this track is its bridge, which includes a tonal vibrato fit more for opera. The verbose operatic vocals drop out for one final chorus, this time backed by [...]

With such a backlog of music due to limited blog time the past couple weeks, we're just going to offer a brief comment or two with the music as I do feel somewhat guilty that much of this has been sitting here so long. I've a couple artists/releases to spotlight and will do them up as separate posts over the weekend. I do want to thank all the bands, artists and labels that have sent music our way for being so patient while I've been so busy. • • • • Swedish Indie/Psychedelic Rockers [...]
