HUSH ARBORS/JERUSALEM AND THE STARBASKETS - Split

Next up on the Great Pop Supplement, comes a mighty 45 pairing longtime Missouri friends Jerusalem and the Starbaskets and Hush Arbors.A fabulous band, JATS debut here with the formidable "Cannot Radiato Without You". A spiky 2 chord blast clocking in at under 2 minutes of perfect pop. Acting as a taster for the stunning "Battle of the Orchids" imminent full length (on the GPS soon), the band merge the ferocity of the Sonics with the tenderness of Galaxie 500 or 3rd album Velvets. Wacked out, often ferocious, psych blues- a taster from which appears here.Hush Arbors recent expansion to a two piece, debut here on vinyl, with "Mr. Bones", another gem from the songwriting genius of Keith Wood. A gentle acoustic opening gives way to a fuller, perhaps busier, 12 string laced sound- not unlike some unreleased nugget from the Gene Clark - "Roadmaster" sessions where he coaxed the original Byrds to reconvene for one last time on wax.Very limited vinyl only 45, on split one half orange, one half green vinyl. Get on it!- The Great Pop Supplement
