Led by Michael Knott (LSU), and featuring members of The Prayer Chain and Fold Zandura (among others), Cush is more of a musical concept than an actual band.

"Heaven Sent," which represents love and love lost, leads off the album with lush guitars, and is followed by another, slightly cheerier relationship song, "Crush Me." Knott continues his streak of strangely beautiful songs that have "bomb" in the title with "The Bomb Was Brighter Than the Stars" while "The Touch" connects the listener to the gift that is God’s love.

Nine of the 12 cuts are over five minutes in length, which can make the album seem to drag a bit, but this is easily forgivable because of the fine musicianship. In a society where "alternative" music has become the mainstream, Cush provides a true quality alternative.
