音乐咖啡厅:honey迷幻王国的艳丽女声

the hush¹ sound是近几个月来令我最感惊艳的组合，女声柔韧有力，摄人心魄，再配合上其他三位男性成员的和声相映衬以及古典钢琴的点缀，一张完美的专辑就这样诞生了。

 

Artist：The Hush Sound

Song：Honey

Spin your body around
Now your feet are gonna hit the ground
I am going sleepless² in your out of lullaby

Honey honey honey you're the death of me
Won't stop holding my hands
Baby baby baby you'll never let me

You've got a dark heart

You've got a cold kiss
You want my love my love
My love
(You want my love)

Everybody's breakin' and everytime you start shakin'
Don't come calling my name

Everybody's bawlin' every time you come-a-calling
I want you to know

Honey honey you are the first one
Darling darling around my door
Honey honey you'll never let me

You've got a dark heart
You've got a cold kiss

You've got a dark heart
You've got a cold kiss

You want my love my love
My love
(You want my love)

Always turning back to you
You never let me down
Loving your illusions
Staring at a crooked³ crown

You always let me down

You want my love my love
my love
(You want my love)

Honey honey honey you're the death of me
Honey honey honey will you ever see

The Hush Sound一开始是由Bob Morris(guitar)和Greta Salpeter(piano/guitar)组成，Greta Salpeter从三岁就开始学习古典钢琴，后来经过朋友介绍认识了Morris，两人发现致趣相同，尽管一个7年级，一个10年级，但两人还是一有空就做自己的音乐，在2004年寒假，两个开始正式写歌，并起了个名字叫"The hush" ，而"sound"是两个觉得可能叫出来会更上口最后才加上的。随着深入，两人觉得"二重唱"没意思，就决定在招两个人组成个"四重唱"，Darren Wilson (drums)、Chris Faller (bass)就是在这种情况下加入的。Faller更是放弃了另外两个乐队的邀请，最后加入The Hush Sound，使得乐队最后完整。"四重唱"（每个人都是歌唱的一份子）两个月后在自己的录音室完成了小样，两个晚上居然卖出了300多张！这引起了Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy发起人)注意并把他们签下自己旗下Decaydance。随后他们重新发布了那张小样并起名"So Sudden"。2006年乐队发行第二张专辑 "Like Vines"

The Hush Sound提供了一种不同于以往那种单一的饱和rock场景，这种indie-folk-pop-rock风格崩发出充满诡异的吉他即兴片段、振奋的钢琴部分、层次分明的男女重唱。这种风格难以归纳，但却是最原始最充满想像的，影响乐队的范围从Paul Simon到The Shins到The Format⁴......
