Hush is the third studio album by New York-based shoegaze band Asobi Seksu. It was released on February 17, 2009 on their new label, Polyvinyl Record Co.. It included four singles: "Me & Mary," which preceded the album's release in November 2008; "Familiar Light", released in February 2009; "Transparence", released in August 2009; and "Layers", released in December 2009. The album demonstrated a shift from the more shoegaze-inspired work of prior releases to a mellower dream pop 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.
