| Biography:
The Dave Dark & the Sharks Remixes of Mountain Song is out March 15th on Candy Cone/i tunes.
Hush Collector were formed in Brighton UK by Poppy Gonzalez (ex Mojave 3/Sing-Sing pianist) and songstress Katie Mummery. Introspective, restrained and spacious, they create music of a potent melancholic beauty. The songs generally take a lethargic tempo and shimmer with warmth and melody. Hushed vocal harmonies which as one reviewer put it 'see the the girls duetting with supernatural intuition' are occasionally broken up with the odd sonic outburst, while a hint of country noir lurks quietly in the wings. Perfect for the after the party and the morning after Hush Collector are essential listening. The first songs recorded at Church Rd Studio Brighton, were released on the 'Flowby ep' via their own 'Candy Cone' label.This prompted an invite to play a live BBC session and resulted in a debut sell-out gig followed by a live acoustic performance on Brighton's Juice FM. Hush Collector are currently concentrating on recording the full length album. "Hush Collector know a powerful secret: the less you fill this huge range, the more you hear - Sparse yet rich, intense and very appealing"... (Tone and Groove) "a slightly dark brand of acoustic-tinged slowcore, rich in melody and texture - a gorgeous musical statement" - (Somewhere Cold) "all the buttons that make us swoon, vocals that are so seductive, you can feel them hooking you in, delicate melody that simmers with desire"... (Losing Today). more ep reviews are here - (Please see below for current release). |
