New Appreciation For Sunshine [Undertow - 2006] Buy from iTunes
"If You're Looking for Burlington's Coolest Band, Look No Further"
-Burlington Free Press
"Currently Vermont's secret, The Cush have delivered a fine record that's well worth seeking out and thoroughly deserves to generate the band much wider acclaim than they seem to have garnered thus far."
-Geraint Jones, Comes with a Smile (UK)
Much like the husband/wife duos at the creative core of Yo La Tengo and Sonic Youth, Burette and Gabrielle Douglas bring a sound all their own to The Cush—handcrafted psych-pop suites, sculpted with the help of vintage tape delays and the inspiration that can only come from enduring the frozen tundra environs of Burlington, Vermont. (The group's originally from the much toastier city of Dallas, Texas.)
With their sophomore release (New Appreciation for Sunshine) now available on Undertow Music Collective, The Cush has been tapped for the UK's Dream Machine Music Festival and plans on touring North America in anticipation of their third release.
