\"CushAfter years and years of promise, Cush is back. If you have been following the band\u2019s website for long enough, you have heard most of these songs. The deal with Cush is that they never sound the same from outing to outing, but still somehow retain some characteristics that sound familiar. This description can be pretty much be applied to their third Spirituals ep \u2013 different but familiar. No band members are mentioned, which means that most discussions of the band will revolve around who is in the band rather than the actual music (the anonymous band thing always backfires). This is too bad, because whoever they are, the band delivers yet another set of songs that is atmospheric, hopeful, spiritual, eclectic, and everything else you have come to expect from Cush. The driving \u201cAll My Eyes Knew\u201d and \u201cFor The First Time\u201c seem to serve as dual album centerpieces and high points. \u201cFor The First Time\u201d is basically a spoken word rendition of the U2 classic that really works better than it should. This ep was up briefly for a free download, is currently now only available as a stream, but will be sold again in the future (maybe on vinyl?) \u2013 so keep your eyes peeled if you want to own the next Cush classic.<\/p>\n[2013 Northern Records | Listen: cush.bandcamp.com<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
