A major departure from 2006's acclaimed Citrus, Hush has a more melodic and softer sound. Asobi Seksu hasn't ditched their familiar shoegaze-friendly layered guitar, but it takes the backseat to lush synthesized arrangements. Without all the distortion vocalist Yuki Chikudate gets a chance to shine, and her ethereal voice carries the album. While the album is certainly dreamlike, there are still standout tracks.
