Description

To record "Hush", the band teamed with engineer Justin Pizzoferrato (Pixies, Speedy Ortiz, Dinosaur Jr.) to track the album, and Josh Bonati (Slowdive, Wild Nothing, Sufjan Stevens) for mastering, and the two perfectly captured Kindling's impressive dynamic range. For a band whose sound is firmly rooted in loudness, Kindling are experts at knowing when to pull back the volume, allowing for truly powerful dynamics in their music. "Hush" also finds Kindling experimenting with unexpected instrumentation, like subtle sitar layers and the Corgan-esque grandeur of mellotron (borrowed from J. Mascis and recorded at his home studio). They use shades of hope and compassion to paint a striking picture of the grieving process, with their vocal interplay always providing an abundance of genuine hooks. "Hush" offers plenty of guitar rock touchstones: pieces of their Western MA musical roots, their surface influences, and even much harder to spot references in their enormous sound.
