PLUSH
Vocalist, pianist, and guitarist Liam Hayes (known for his work with Will Oldham's Palace) has been songwriting
for his group, Plush, since the dawn of the '90s, but didn't record with the band until 1994 when the single
"Three Quarters Blind Eyes"/"Found a Little Baby" came out on Chicago's Drag City label.
This first effort for the seldom-gigging band garnered some surprisingly big attention from the music press;
notably, the B-side was named Single of the Week by one British magazine and received critical praise from several others.
It was another three years, however, before the band created a follow-up. 1997's "No Education"
came out on Flydaddy, and it was a much shorter wait between releases this time, with their full-length debut
coming out the following year. 1998's More You Becomes You actually finds Hayes at the piano singing sparse, vulnerable,
and romantic songs along the heartfelt lines of Carole King and Burt Bacharach ballads
"MORE YOU BECOMES YOU"

While it's hip for contemporary pop acts to toss out Burt Bacharach's name as an influence, few even remotely approximate
the master's melodic savvy, emotional resonance and simple elegance; Plush'sLiam Hayes comes much closer to the mark,
with his debut More You Becomes You -- an intimate, often gorgeous collection of piano ballads -- recalling the handful
of solo records Bacharach cut during the late 1960s. Gentle yet disarming, the record's only hint of irony is in its title -- Hayes
smartly favors a less-is-more approach, stripping his music of virtually everything but piano and vocals; both are
more than adequate to convey the somber beauty which lends the album its seductive...(AllMusic)
