Moderation is anathema to Liam Hayes. Under the guise of Plush, Hayes has vacillated from ascetic sparseness (relying almost exclusively on piano for his debut More You Becomes You) to brimming excess (for the densely-populated follow-up Fed). The apparent disdain for temperance has served him well artistically, though it has also resulted in numerous financial setbacks and caused lengthy delays between albums.
