From the beginning of opening track on DC 4-piece Big Hush’s new tape ‘Who’s Smoking Your Spirit?” it is evident that the band is possessed with a new frenetic energy and a harder, faster style, a major shift in tone from their past releases. Around a year ago in November 2014, they released Wholes, a tape that guitarist/vocalist Owen Wuerker refers to as having ‘mellow, pretty songs,’ and “Who’s Smoking Your Spirit?” is a departure almost entirely from the feelings Wholes creates.
