EastCoastPost #1: The Broadway Hush

I love Page France, that's no secret. Other Matt really loves Page France, you love Page France, heck, everyone does! Well, assuming that common interest, say hello to your new favorite music.

The Broadway Hush are Whitney McGraw and Michael Nau. If those names sound familiar, it's because they are. Whitney and Michael are both in Page France, as well. Except While Michael sings for Page France, Whitney takes the spotlight here. First of all, She has a beautiful voice, that's the first thing I said to myself when i heard "Jetplanes In Chicago." The songs are very serene and acoustic based with a chimes and horns and clever drumming thrown in, in the most perfect of places. The greatest part about The Broadway Hush, however, is the male/female harmonies, most particularly on "White Courtesy Box," which also happens to be the best song ive heard in a quite a while. A wise music-describer by the name of Leza says, "It's so...white cotton sheets and finding a comfortable position and then your three year old creeps into the room and gets into bed with you because it's raining and they're scared." I'd say that's pretty dead on. Now, not to take away from the fact they are a completely seperate band, but The Broadway Hush are essentially a female-fronted Page France. However, that is in no way a bad thing. The world needs more music like Page France and the world needs to hear Whitney McGraw.

"Much like a scene from a dated musical in circa sunshine, the Broadway Hush comes down the street pedaling banana seat bicycles, whistling some sticky tune that will remain in your head for weeks to come." - From Myspace.

They recently released a limited edition 7" titled By Ship or By Shoe. The release is limited to 300 copies and each one is hand numbered. Get it now at ClerestoryAV. Highly recommended for fans of Rilo Kiley, The Rosebuds and of course, Page France.
