The release
of Regards marks a watershed moment for Hunger Hush. The Calgary
indie-rockers have been writing and performing for the last three years, honing
their wide ambitions into a wiry, tight sound. The resulting album - the band’s
first full-length - is a burst of youthful energy in a nine song arc. Tales of
friendship, love, anxiety and change go down easy, but surprises greet the
listener at each turn. String sections and odd tempos spring from Hammond riffs
and crunchy guitars, though Regards is anything but overblown. It’s all
in service of the story, and all anchored by indelible hooks and catchy
enthusiasm.
Touring
their previous Lorrie Matheson-produced EPs, Hunger Hush has played across the Prairies
and BC, and performed at CMW 2013. They’ve opened for The Cave Singers, July
Talk and Daniel Wesley, and will take the stage in support of Regards
throughout the coming year.
