Blanket Music

The brainchild of Hush Records president <a href="spotify:artist:5JRxfOFTlqoWivEpflMHjq">Chad Crouch</a>, this group originally began after being asked to perform at a friend's wedding reception. Consisting of everything from jazz and rock to bossa nova and pop, Blanket Music continued to perform around Portland, OR. Compared often to <a href="spotify:artist:4I2BJf80C0skQpp1sQmA0h">Belle and Sebastian</a> as well as <a href="spotify:artist:5c3GLXai8YOMid29ZEuR9y">Nick Drake</a>, Blanket Music released its debut effort, Nice in 2000 on Hush Records. A split EP with <a href="spotify:artist:71mFVUtlUDsoA8zfWN8UIv">Noise for Pretend</a> was well received by both press and fans. Blanket Music also released a split EP with <a href="spotify:artist:6tVbISJrCFEZCcS8EkZc7L">Reclinerland</a>. In 2002, the band rounded its sound by adding two female vocalists, <a href="spotify:artist:6VhCOB0YOxq4S2a8GuPtvz">Corrina Repp</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5bepW5vcdRzheNc0F8lHJ5">Esperanza Spalding</a>; they released Move in 2002. ~ Jason MacNeil, Rovi
