Boston indie-pop quintet The Hush Now have made an impression on music critics and fans by wedding the “lush sugar-spun melodies of shoegaze’s dreamy heyday” to “the hooky muscle of bands like Guided by Voices and Built To Spill” as one critic put it. The band’s self-titled debut, released last October, climbed independent radio top 100 charts and drew comparisons to My Bloody Valentine, Guided By Voices, Poole, and The Ocean Blue, among others. Blog buzz and radio play by BBC 6 DJ Steve Lamacq further fueled interest in the band, who had yet to even play their first gig.
“We didn’t exist.” says singer Noel Kelly (formerly of Cerulean).”But that’s what’s so great about the new media outlets today. If you put together a quality product and get it out there, there’s always the chance somebody will pick up on it.” The genesis of the band can be traced to a stormy night in LA two years ago when Kelly attempted to drive a stick shift with a broken wrist. He awoke with a flagpole through his windshield and an angry priest pointing at a hole in the side of his church – all while Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” played on the radio. After his brush with death, Kelly moved to Portland, Oregon and began writing material for The Hush Now’s debut.
Noel eventually landed in Boston, where he teamed up with Mike DiMinno, an elementary school teacher and bassist. Barry Marino (oftenairborne, This Car Up) joined in on drums and Kurt Schneider (This Car Up) played keyboards. The last piece of the puzzle was producer David Newton (The Mighty Lemon Drops).
