Hush Records 是自从 The Decemberists 转投 Kill Rock Stars 然后又跑到 Capitol Records，在小小的波特兰(Portland)，或者说那小小的 Hush Records 俨然成为美国最有意思的独立小厂牌之一。因为它不仅有自己特色鲜明的indie pop band比如Norfolk & Western，它还创立了独具一格的带有民谣和乡谣味的风格。包括Casey Dienel , Shelley Short 和如今的 Laura Gibson都是这类风格的代表。
　　Steeped in the fingerpick-guitar rudiments of folk music, inspired by the expressionism of classic jazz vocalists, and finding common ground in the minimalism and ear-taunting of the avant-garde, Laura Gibson alights on a branch of the music tree that no one else has found. Equally deliberate, and as a nod to the vinyl record era, Beast Of Seasons is split into two parts–Part 1: Communion Songs and Part II: Funeral Songs. The songs isolate distinct and familiar emotions from the many reactions to death, ranging from fear (“Where Have All Your Good Words Gone”) and denial (“Sweet Deception”) to brave acceptance (“Funeral Song”). Gibson’s accomplice for Beasts of Seasons was friend and Grammy Awardnominated producer Tucker Martine. The project offered Martine a departure from the grand visions of bands like The Decemberists and Sufjan Stevens, and the computer in Martine’s studio was eschewed in favor of a vintage, slightly shaky two-inch tape machine. Limited to sixteen tracks, many things were recorded live. Instead of laying down multiple horn tracks, they invited all of their horn-playing friends over one afternoon. Instead of multi-tracked vocal harmonies, they formed a choir of compatriots. In fact, many friends dropped in to contribute, including musical collaborator Rachel Blumberg (M. Ward, Bright Eyes), Nate Query (The Decemberists), Adam Selzer (Norfolk and Western, M. Ward), avant-garde violist and composer Eyvind Kang, solo artists Laura Veirs and Shelly Short, Danny Seim (Menomena), and many of the people who have formed Gibson’s touring band over the past two years (Cory Gray, Sean Ogilvie, Dave Depper, Jason Leonard, and Micah Rabwin). With Beasts of Seasons, Gibson offers up an intimate affirmation of mortality that is vulnerable and courageous, ordinary and extraordinary.
