Goodbye Blues

It might break your heart to know that The Hush Sound's third album,Goodbye Blues, almost never existed. Nearing the end of 2006, theChicago foursome which formed in the very beginning of 2005 andreleased their debut album, So Sudden, in October of the same year was on the verge of bidding each other and their band adieu. They hadjust released their sophomore effort, Like Vines (which has sold over60,000 copies to date), through Pete Wentz's Decaydance imprinton label Fueled By Ramen, but thankfully had embarked on a sold-out headlining tour which came to its pinnacle during a packed show atPhiladelphia's Theater of the Living Arts. Suddenly the band realizedthat people cared, and then, even more importantly, that they did too.Once we did the headlining tour, we realized there were all these peoplecoming to see us and saying how much they genuinely appreciate the music, says vocalist/pianist Greta Salpeter. We realized that we were part of something greater than all these little problems we had. Goodbye Blues was actualized over the course of two months in KevinAugunas (Cold War Kids) North Hollywood studio, beginning in September of2007. The album bridges an expanse between invitingly catchy pop buoyancyand a certain emotional and intellectual depth The Hush Sound has neverfully explored before. Standout tracks like Medicine Man , Honey and Hurricane reveal not only the group s new sense of maturity, but theirburgeoning skill for sculpting emotive, relatable songs that exist not justas moments of music but as, what Greta sees as little pieces of art.
