New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Hush Kids, the new collaboration between Nashville veterans Jill Andrews and
Peter Groenwald, will release their self-titled debut album on October 26th via Tone Tree Music. Produced by Ian Fitchuk (of recent
Kacey Musgraves Golden Hour success), Hush Kids journeys across the unexpected, the strangeness of love rather than the sweetness, and the beauty of the world rather than the delirium. Today they released their new song "Goodbye Rain," debuted by Folk Alley who described "a gorgeous melodic web with varying threads of toughness and texture."
"When we recorded this, it was raining very heavily on the metal roof of the studio," the band recalled. "We were worried about it at first, but then realized when we listened back that it was the perfect compliment for the song. This song is about closing the door on past hurts and running towards a better future. It's about making peace with where you've been in hopes of a better tomorrow."
Hush Kids is a friendship with music. It began long before it had a name, when two beloved Nashville artists with impressive solo careers were put together by their publishers to write songs for other people. In time, they discovered they had been writing for themselves all along. Their earliest sessions revealed more than chemistry, they revealed kindredness, an innate understanding that allowed two very different people to write some of the most deeply personal music of their careers. It pairs the effortless, addictive pop sensibility of The
Carpenters with the dusty, atmospheric, desert landscape of
Robert Plant and
Allison Kraus's Americana classic Raising Sand. Billboard recently described them as "a songwriting blind date that paid off."
Earlier this summer, Hush Kids teased their upcoming debut with the release of their lead single "Love Is A Made Up Word." It was followed by "Morning Is Made" which American Songwriter called "a gently building folk song that finds its foundation in the delicate interplay between the two artists' vocals." Their song "What's Your Hurry" is also out now.
Instinctive vocal symmetry, captivating melodies, and intimate intelligent lyrics speak to the years of tireless craftmanship and well-earned successes by both artists respectively. A gifted composer/producer/musician,
Peter has toured extensively and shared the stage with artists such as The Civil Wars, Andrew Belle, and John Mayer. Jill, a founding member of alt/country favorites The Everybodyfields, has performed alongside The Avett Brothers, Willie Nelson, and Drew Holcomb & the Neighbors. She has also released two acclaimed solo albums, 2011's The Mirror and 2015's The War Inside, which NPR
Music called "a beautiful record."
Despite the name, Hush Kids is not about quiet, it's about stepping away from the wrong kind of noise to embrace the music.
