Husky Free the Beasts in 'Tidal Wave' - Premiere.

Husky frontman [who's name is, indeed...] Husky Gawenda and keyboardist Gideon Preiss are cousins who grew up together in Australia and discovered a shared love of music.  The young quartet that makes up Husky have disparate tastes, but a shared passion for classic sounds, rich harmonies and artful songwriting: qualities that have become a staple of a Sub Pop roster that boasts Fleet Foxes and The Head and the Heart among its latest successes. 

Forever So was borne of a true DIY aesthetic, recorded in every inch of a small backyard cabin that had to have electricity siphoned to it from the main house, the album's inauspicious beginnings were trumped by first single and late-addition "History's Door" winning a nation-wide contest in Australia that saw the song become an enormous hit for the then unsigned band.  Remixed in Los Angeles by Noah Georgeson [Devandra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, the Strokes], the final result is a fully-realized long-player that impresses from start to finish.  See Husky's videos from the Bing Lounge.
