Clay and I had this ritual in college where we’d turn down the lights, lay flat on our backs, and play certain songs over and over again. It served as a catharsis for us, often following a botched exam or “I like you…as a friend.” Our playlist included a variety of music, though most of it fell under the so-called “slowcore” and “shoegazer” categories. But not just any band with bad posture, pale skin, and walls of distorted guitars or mumbled vocals would do… You gotta have dynamics to pull me out of a funk. Build, crash, rebuild. Like waves, like Legos. The Very Hush Hush seem to have that dynamics thing figured out (could be their classical music training). Each of these tracks, if taken in one- or two-minute intervals, may seem shy or sullen, but taken as a whole will lift you up to where you can see more than just your shoes.
Sharing the sharing.
I would have ranked women troubles higher than botched exams…
The Very Hush Hush would have been on the high rotation list. I can still see our custom constellations of glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling representing MC MacDaddy Longlegs(tm) and DJ Muscles(tm). We really could have gone into hip-hop with those names. It's a Deluxe thang…
