how about something a little old fashioned?

i’ve recently discovered i’m a sucker for the fueled by ramen label - they carry a lot of the bands i enjoy, either guiltily or not guiltily. the verdict is in your hands. a long time ago, a guilty pleasure of mine that has recently blossomed into a full on enjoyment, panic at the disco, was on tour with the hush sound, and although i didnt go see them, i found the hush sound’s album and loved that they were straddling big band swing and emo song structure along with some sort of… slinky nightclub act.

so i’m a big fan, because my first real fandom of music was swing - i learned the dance and all that, and then ska followed and now im just a music enthusiast i think. and maybe you little rabbits are too. maybe we should all just be big music fans and stop saying the things we like or don’t like, because then guilty pleasures wouldn’t be guilty, they would just be pleasures, and you could crank up that volume knob and everyone could come into your room and dance the night away.

that was a tangent.

anywho. the hush sound. the song’s called “love you much better.” it’s the post chorus lalala-ba-ba-ba breakdown paired with an overly reverbed handclap that get me. that make me listen to this song nonstop and put my ipod earbuds in other people’s dirty, dirty ears. (i recently started swabbing mine with alcohol swabs when i realize how much i do this) and then all of that comes together for the final verse-chorus amalgamation and you just want to clap. and guess what? the band is proud too. they clapped themselves after that one.

the hush sound - love you much better

enjoy. leave something in the comments. see you tomorrow.
