DOWNLOAD: Hush Arbors - Day Before + Devil Made You High
Hush Arbors makes a vein of off-key, strummy, rock-pop that straddles the memories of Seattle-infused 90s and California-obsessed 60s. The tracks below leave us with a feeling of accessible wistfulness, almost an invigoratingly DIY-ness, as if we could grab the mailman, a few instruments and a couple of gallons of Sunny D (maybe some purple stuff too) and come up with something you might call music. A listen of the rest of the record and a sweep of the liner notes (record is produced by J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr.) and it all becomes painfully obvious that we’ve been duped. It only looks easy (kind of like that unkempt hairdo above). Maybe in our next life we’ll craft a plaintive record wild with psych-folk fuzz and promise like Yankee Reality but we doubt it.
