Hush is the third studio album by New York-based shoegaze band Asobi Seksu. It was released on February 17, 2009 on their new label, Polyvinyl Record Co.. It included four singles: "Me & Mary," which preceded the album's release in November 2008; "Familiar Light", released in February 2009; "Transparence", released in August 2009; and "Layers", released in December 2009. The album demonstrated a shift from the more shoegaze-inspired work of prior releases to a mellower dream pop sound.
The album was recorded in the summer of 2008 and was produced by Chris Zane, who worked on their previous album, Citrus.
The song "Layers" was featured in the episode "The Born Identity" of the third season of the TV series Ugly Betty.
