Hush Collector

Hush Collector was formed in Brighton UK by Poppy Gonzalez (ex Mojave 3/Sing-Sing pianist) and songstress Katie Mummery. Introspective, restrained and spacious, they create music of a potent melancholic beauty. The songs generally take a lethargic tempo and shimmer with warmth and melody. Hushed vocal harmonies which as one reviewer put it ‘see the the girls duetting with supernatural intuition’ are occasionally broken up with the odd sonic outburst, while a hint of country noir lurks quietly in the wings. Perfect for the after the party and the morning after Hush Collector are essential listening.
The first songs recorded at Church Rd Studio Brighton, were released on the ‘Flowby ep’ via their own ‘Candy Cone’ label.This prompted an invite to play a live BBC session and resulted in a debut sell-out gig followed by a live acoustic performance on Brighton’s Juice FM. Hush Collector are currently concentrating on recording the full length album.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
