"We pulled together a little tune this past week, trying to make sense of it all and I thought you'd appreciate it. It's not much, but we hope that maybe it brings some comfort... " Noel Kelly of The Hush Now Boston, MA The Hush Now Web / My / Fb / Tw / [...]
There's a story we think of often, when, in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, Bruce Springsteen was apparently out and about and someone driving by spotted him and shouted from their truck, "Bruce, we need you!" Such is the power of music, and people's visceral, often umbilical, relationship to it. Music comforts. Music uplifts. Sometimes it does the best it can to solve problems. And of course it can bash and pop and do all those other things we love about it. The whole of Boston and the immediately surrounding region was shaken badly last week by [...]
St. Patrick's Day is on Sunday. Now, normally. I wouldn't have plans for it (there's only so many times one can re-watch the parade one took part in for years whilst in primary school, after all), but it turns out I'm going to see Bombay Bicycle Club, Jape and The Cast of Cheers in an 800-capacity venue instead. This comes at the end of a week full of unexpected happenings and plenty of surprises, mostly of the musical variety. Out of the blue, I received three sit-up-and-listen amazing songs this week. I was worried this week would be one of [...]
>> While Managing Editor Michael P. continues to manage SXSW, the everyday business of the blog goes on... This Today's Hotness is brought to you by the letter "B," in alphabetical order, sorta... >> For the second year running, multi-instrumentalist and video director extraordinaire Barry Marino (who is perhaps best known to Clicky Clicky readers as drummer for Boston indie rock heroes The Hush Now ) wrote and recorded an entire album during the month of February. This year's effort culminated with the release last week of the sparkling and curious eight-song collection [...]
In just a few hours, Americans on the east coast will usher in 2013. Of course it's already 2013 in other parts of the world, especially the far east. Happy New Year and best wishes to all. This is a two-part playlist - first, there are 13 (for 2013) straight away MP3 tracks, followed by [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring ... except for the Hush Now. The Boston band's holiday single this year is one most of us can relate to: “I’m Always Broke In December." Download it below, and then get to bed before Santa shows up. "I'm Always Broke [...]
>> Well, the Christmas tree went up at Clicky Clicky HQ this afternoon, so we're ready now to turn our attention to the music of the season. A reliable pleasure for the last few years has been a holiday offering from Boston dream pop giants The Hush Now , and we were pleased to receive recently the slow, serene rumination "I'm Always Broke In December." It's the first Hush Now Christmas jam to feature a lead vocal from drummer and polymath Barry Marino. The title communicates the sentiment aptly, but it is the band's patient, [...]
In "I'm Always Broke In December," Boston Indie Rock band The Hush Now appeal to those who are easily impressed. They play the song as if its "The Last Waltz", but everything about it feels forced and uninspired. The shiny piano tones and sing-talk vocals essentially resembling the work of amateurs. Music Player: [...]
>> The Hush Now 's fidelity to tradition persists, a small but beautiful thing we've come to count on, a little consistency in a crazy world. Like morning frosts and 4PM sunsets, the Boston-based dream-pop quintet returns, here with a third annual Halloween-themed treat in hand, this one titled "The Flapper." The jaunty song reinforces our long-held belief that singer and founder Noel Kelly and his merry men could easily be raking in dough on the side writing pop gems for Disney soundtracks. "The Flapper" rests upon a winking guitar lick and a sturdy beat, both of which provide [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves. It's time for another edition of Dubstomp Wompday and this one goes exceptionally hard. This week's Womp is literally jam-packed with filthy tunes from start to finish. We've got tracks by KillSonik, 501, xKore, Dirtyphonics, Figure, 1up and RoughMath that will be sure to satisfy any bass craving. There are [...]
>> Alta Mira heretofore in these electronic pages warranted only a sidelong mention as billmates with local dream pop heroes The Hush Now at PA's Lounge a year ago . But we enjoyed their set and made a mental note to keep an eye on them, and we're glad we did, as the Clifton Park, NY-based indie rock concern has just released to the wilds of the Internerds one of the most delightful songs of the year, a rare, perfect pop song. "Good Enough" delivers bright guitar pop smoothed over lightly percolating bass [...]
Three Clicky Clicky favorites feature prominently in the soundtrack to the new unromantic comedy "Party Like It's A Verb," and this is no accident: we recommended the bands ourselves to producer Jeff Stern while the film was in some stage of production in the summer of 2010. Heady times, heady times indeed. But perhaps the headiest times are to come, as the film will make its Boston (and world) premiere at the Brattle Theater in Cambridge, MA, March 1 ( Facebook Event Page / BUY TICKETS NOW ). It's no accident the film will [...]
For many people, 2012 arrives with much uncertainty. But one thing we can pretty much always look forward to is music. There will be great music that gets a lot of buzz, and other terrific music that, for the most part, flies under the radar. There will be the predictable hype of new albums by [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

And here we are at the end of 2011. If you had told us a year ago that the things which transpired this year were coming, we would not have believed you. While for much of the year, and much to our frustration, music had to take a back seat to real life, that only increased its importance to this writer. Cross-country flights soundtracked by Broken Shoulder . Getting up to speed mornings listening to Rival Schools . Quiet weekends with J Mascis , summer vacation with Algernon Cadwallader and The War On Drugs [...]
