The Hush Sound - Like Vines
Posted by Tim Karan on 04-Oct-06 @ 04:04 PM

[3/5] The Hush Sound make an admirable musical effort on their second album, but you can tell the Chicago foursome's tender age simply by their susceptibility to outside influence. "Lions Roar" could be mistaken for a Panic! At the Disco B-side; "Magnolia" sounds like an emo-fortified Eisley; and "We Intertwined" draws inspiration from album collaborators and fellow Chicagoans This Is Me Smiling. Fortunately, the Hush Sound's quirky melodies, refreshing use of piano and alternating male/female vocals show intriguing promise for their future endeavors. By the Sound of it, pianist Greta Salpeter is the band's MVP, her breathy voice and winding keyboard lines being the focal point of the band's sense of aesthetics. It's hard to say where the Hush Sound will go next; hopefully, it won't need the kind of hype that naked photographs of their A&R guy brings. (DECAYDANCE/FUELED BY RAMEN) Emily Zemler
