• Track Listing

Hum influenced a generation of shoegaze bands, but their singularly epic sound swirls with ripples of punk and prog, too. Outside of a few scattered live shows, those glorious Hum sonics have lain dormant since the 1998 release of "Heavenward Is Downward." Their first new album in 22 years has already won raves from Pitchfork, Stereogum and many others; it’s a stunning return to peak form, available here on CD or double vinyl (180-gram, with download card): "Waves," "In the Den," "Desert Rambler," "Cloud Ciry" and more!
