“Hoping And Waiting”, off The Hush Now‘s upcoming sophomore LP Constellations, sees the band progressing in their ability to craft a great pop song. Simple and packed with pop sensibilities, “Hoping And Waiting” shows more promise than the singles off the group’s self-titled debut. The Hush Now’s sunny pop is excellent summer fun.

The Hush Now (MySpace) make melodic indie-pop with two-part male vocal harmonies. The poppy riffs and bouncy percussion and spacey guitars are not really what one would expect from a Civil War re-enactor, or even a Rock ‘N’ Roll Camp Counselor, but The Hush Now has one of each.
