The Hush Sound's newest full-length continues to build upon their brand of refined, piano-based pop, with a heavy focus on the powerful vocal delivery of pianist Greta Salpeter. "Goodbye Blues," bridges an expanse between an invitingly catchy pop buoyancy and a certain emotional and intellectual depth The Hush Sound has never fully explored before. To achieve this dichotomy, the group studied the past with great vigor, digging through the back catalogue of American music since the early 1900s, subtly culling the styles of blues, swing, rock, and folk into the mix of their own personal sensibility. Standout tracks like "Medicine Man" and "Honey" evoke thump and rollick, resonating with the band's vision while dusting it in old-timey feeling, while the achingly lovely ballad "Hurricane" reveals not only the group's new sense of maturity, but their burgeoning skill for sculpting emotive, relatable songs that exist not just as moments of music but as, what Greta sees as "little pieces of art." With massive amounts of touring under their belts alongside bands like Rooney and Jack's Mannequin, Hellogoodbye, Boys Like Girls, Fall Out Boy, and Panic! At the Disco; an inclusion in Alternative Press's Most Anticipated issue of albums expected in 2008; and the rare, genuine desire to shape and inspire people's lives with their music, The Hush Sound is prepared to unleash something unstoppable and very real on the world with "Goodbye Blues."
