I can hardly believe Hum finally released a new album since their last LP over 22 years ago! This was completely out of the blue for me and I didn’t find out until over a week ago. But I’ve been listening to Inlet nonstop and Hum hasn’t lost it at all even after all these years. This band just means so much to me. They were one of my favorite bands in high school along with Black Sabbath and Soundgarden. Me and my best friend were so obsessed their space rock sound and the unbelievable melodic distortion that from the guitars of Matt Talbott and Tim Lash. I’ve listened to quite a bit of doom and alternative metal bands and no one even comes close to Hum’s sound.
The reviews for Inlet have been overwhelmingly positive and I absolutely love the new record. They have four songs on the record that are actually over 8 minutes, but the music is so seamless that the length of the songs feel way shorter than what they are. Step into You is one of my favorite songs off the record. It has that heavy melodic distortion that I love so much with all the sweet melancholy overdrive one could ask for! Hum are really back and the amazing indie rock scene that is just brimming with so much talent is going to be all the better for it!
