There’s a band out in Melbourne named Husky. Here’s what they do: play some smooth, rootsy indie-folk. When you do such things, clearly you’re going to have some Sub Pop dreams. But what happens when Sub Pop dreams… become Sub Pop realities!? What happens is that you put out a record called Forever So through Sub Pop and give it a US release on July 10. You also let your buddies in the UK and Europe have that record a little earlier, namely May 28. And you let them have it in digital, CD, and vinyl formats, because you are incredibly nice! You are nice guys, Husky!
In living the Sub Pop dream, Husky are going on tour with some of their like-minded Sub Pop labelmates. So go see them this summer with Wolf Eyes, THEESatisfaction, and Eugene Mirman! I’m just kidding, Wolf Eyes aren’t on Sub Pop anymore. I’m also just kidding with the rest of that information, because that information was primarily constructed out of lies. In reality, they’re going on tour with Shearwater and The Head and the Heart. They’re also playing a show with Felice Brothers, but they’re not on Sub Pop SO WHO CARES.
Sad news to close this story. Due to their massive exposure to Sub Pop, Husky have contracted terminal Sub Pop disease. They have roughly two years to live, in which they will spend most of their time putting out Mudhoney albums.
