Details:
As with their two previous efforts, the band’s third album Between the Leaves is instantly recognizable as a Cush record to anyone even remotely familiar with them. For example, within five seconds of hearing the disc playing in the car, my girlfriend noted, “Ooh! The new Cush record!”
That’s not to say the duo is lacking for new ideas. Rather, with this latest work, husband and wife songwriters Burette and Gabrielle Douglas have sharpened their dreamy, at times unwieldy, wash of narcotic psychedelia into a refined and elegant cacophony.
From opening track “Telepathic Headdress,” which over seven harrowing minutes builds from a meandering, bloodshot crawl into a whorl of ringing organ and fuzzed-out guitar, to the bracing bliss pop of “The Vigilant Ones” and through the album’s weary benediction “Denver,” The Cush have made the defining record of a career that to this point has been difficult to define.
While their trademark “ear candy” is firmly on display — this time around aided by Ben Maddox (Farm) on Wurlitzer and organ and Matt Hayes (ex-Chuch) on pedal steel — it’s the Douglases’ vocal performances that truly stand out, particularly when they sing together. Even more than on earlier efforts, the pair’s attention to melody is striking, the sonic swarms augmenting their songwriting. From start to finish, the album is a tour de force.
