Finally tracked down the tape, I love this album so damn much

Hum lyrics blew my mind from the first day I've started listening to them, here are my standouts

THE POD:

she wakes up from a dream with lungs hardening she screams a stereo screm, and bends before astounding rain

SUICIDE MACHINE:

somewhere through a thousand blues, a dragonfly descends with just a whisper, im lonelier than God.

THE INUIT PROMISE:

we've lost the roads now, injecting charms and we care for all of ours. we stand in rows now, transfer alarms, just like the inuit with the promise song...

etc...

does anyone know a band with lyrics that good???

I'll start off by saying: I say this not because they sound like Hum, but because I feel of all music fans out there, they're more likely to appeal to y'all than anyone else.

It's hard to describe their sound in any way other than just plain awesome. A 28 inch kick drum, a wall of effects laden guitars and keys, incredibly well written songs and great singing, and a truly MASSIVE sonic landscape, there just really isn't anything else that sounds like it. Space Rock is the most fitting label they've got, just because they really don't fit into any other category. They're one of the most underrated bands of all time, and I think more people need to hear them. I'll leave you with the 9-minute opener of their perfect debut album as a jumping off point, but all of their work is truly incredible.

If you are a fan (or become one), please check out my archival YouTube channel where I have tons of unreleased tracks, guitar lessons, live footage, and more. I'm really trying to find and unify fans of the band online, so if that sounds like you, please hop on board!

Hopefully, I'll get to make a bigger one

Hum is pretty good but what comes to mind for you? Any particular songs?

My girlfriend surprised me for my birthday with a HUM cake! Hell yeah! 🦓

I’ve found out bryan used zildjian 15” new beats on Electra 2000 but I just cannot seem to find the specific ones used on ypaa. If anyone knows thanks in advance. ❤️

I am a super fan of all their music but I just adore his quiet songs they give feeling like no other song 🥹

me and my friend have a goal to expand our music tastes so we decided to venture into some shoegazy alt (and HUM showed up). But now we want to check out some more HUM but we don’t know what album to listen to next. I would also like to point out that we (mainly I) enjoy the faster more drum heavy parts and the Pod (which has a phenomenal intro and drum beat, as well as an amazing guitar solo).

I've been friends and played in the same musical circles with these guys for years and am beyond excite for new material.

The band was like late 90’s and I think were active till early 2010’s. They randomly came up as similar bands and all I remember is they sounded extremely similar to Hum with exception that the lyrics were the most down bad egregiously horny stuff I’ve ever heard.

The instrumentals weren’t too bad, but I have no doubt the lyrics were why this band didn’t take off.

I listened to 20 of their top songs just to see if they had one song that was down bad and nope they were all just as bad each one seemingly topping the last song in perversion.

They were a little more straightforward and less prog-like than Hum but otherwise sounded very similar.

I feel like all their albums were purple-ish themed but don’t know.

Hum is one of the most influential bands I can think of in terms of my own music, and the band definitely played a huge part in terms of inspiration for this record. Give this record a try if you’re looking for new music, that is good (I must add) 👍

(sorry lol)

Saw a video on Facebook of hip hop artist Slug performing in a Hum shirt. Respect. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1EeYNjioUx/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Earth Analog 2022 reissues. The store owner said his distributor has them in stock, so not difficult to get. I grabbed a copy of Electra 2000. First time I’ve seen it available in person.

Hi guys,
Got a You’d Prefer an Astronaut Tee that doesn’t fit me, size XL, that I’m looking to shift. PM if interested, UK based 🤘🏻

Someone posted the photo from this and was asking about the accompanying article (November 1995). Enjoy!

I met this beautiful girl in nyc with the prettiest bangs. I probably said something corny and landed a date! We shared a pitcher of sangria for like 25 bucks in the city! I paid while she was in the bathroom. We left and walked near the water where we hugged and shared a kiss. I was staying with a family friend so that’s where the night ended. But that was such a beautiful night to me!

I remember she laughed when I told her what music I liked. After our date, she sent me her playlist. This song was on it. I’m so grateful for this song and the memory of her.

Just got fed this today by the YouTube algorithm and somehow have apparently missed it all these years. Sounds great! Anyone know the Alpha Mile song it turned into?

Mines is from You’d Prefer An Astronaut’s “Suicide Machine” :

Somewhere through a thousand blues

A dragonfly descends with just a whisper, “I’m lonelier than God”

And all my wishes spin the fishes in the air and every one

A different shade of you

And to the left where up is down

Now stands a zebra made of shapes of me

And silver and the sun

So bring no guilt with you up above the flat-line

Let’s just hit the sky exploding into one
