Hush The Many (Heed The Few); – Revolve

• 5th Mar 2008

Supple structured Americana/indie/folk uses the dual vocals of Nema and Alexandra (also the bassist), to produce a drama building flight. Resulting in the sort of impact you would expect from a tempered down Son’s And Daughters.
This dual gender, cockney quartet build from a low-key guitar grounding provided by Ruban, allowing the two vocalists to intermingle their crisp, but assured femme range with a tender, yet masterful male leading lag. This helps to showcase the starkly poetic lyrical appeal;

“It’s like sand; desperate people running through their hands.And it slips every time, they’re dressed up holding words like they were mine,
Dressed up fools they’ll live out wasting lives.”

Up tempo acoustic slide and warming male vocals courtesy of Nema, gives ‘Story End’ a more wistful tug to draw out a subtle and piercing edge. Hush The Many (heed the few) are on the brink, of what? That’s part of the mystery!
