Hush is the third studio album by New York-based shoegazing band Asobi Seksu. It was released on February 17, 2009 through their new label Polyvinyl Records. It includes the singles "Me & Mary," which preceded the album's release in November 2008, "Familiar Light" in February 2009, "Transparence" in August 2009, and "Layers" in December 2009. The album demonstrates a shift from the more shoegazer-inspired work of their last major releases into a more dream-pop, mellower sound.
The album was recorded in the summer of 2008 and was produced by Chris Zane, who worked on their previous album Citrus.[9]
The song "Layers" was featured in the episode "The Born Identity" of the third season of the TV series Ugly Betty.
