Album of the Day

Pianist Greta Salpeter and guitarist Bob Morris were in junior high and high school, respectively, when they began playing music together; with the later addition of a bassist and a drummer, The Hush Sound was born. Things moved quickly for the Chicago quartet, particularly after their debut caught the ear of Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz, who signed the group to his label and hooked them up with bandmate Patrick Stump and FOB producer Sean O'Keefe to helm LIKE VINES. Playful and melodic, the 2006 collection adds a variety of instrumental touches to 11 originals, including opener “We Intertwined” (from which the set’s title was drawn), “Lions Roar” and “Don't Wake Me Up,” with the voices of Morris and Salpeter serving as perfect foils. Reaching both Billboard’s Indie and Heatseekers charts, the exuberant LIKE VINES is sure to grow on you.
