Hum Release First New Album In 22 Years

They’re back!

Alt-rock/post-hardcore quartet Hum have returned with new material. The 90’s band who reunited in 2015 surprised everyone by dropping their long-awaited fifth album Inlet earlier today on Polyvinyl Record Co. (Anamanaguchi, The Get Up Kids, Jeff Rosenstock). This is the follow-up to their 1998 record Downward Is Heavenward released  on RCA Records (Doja Cat, Tool, Winnetka Bowling League).

From 1991 to 1998, Hum — consisting of vocalist/guitarist Matt Talbott, guitarist Tim Lash, bassist Jeff Dimpsey, and drummer Bryan St. Pere — dropped four fantastic albums before disbanding in 2000. They’re mostly known for their 1995 hit “Stars”, which has been covered by bands like Evergreen Terrace and Bleeding Through.

The band first started working on the album back in 2016, a year after their permanent reunion after a few years of one-off shows at festivals.
