Hum

Inspired by the release of Hum's first album in 22 years, we put together a list of 28 essential songs that occupy the middle ground between shoegaze and heavier music - a sound which has existed for decades but is now more prominent than ever.

Our June 2020 playlist includes tracks by Megan Thee Stallion, Beyonce, YG, Jonsi, Hum, DEHD, Elvis Costello, Jesu, Bob Mould, Phoebe Bridgers, Ulthar, JARV IS, Tricky, Fontaines DC, Arca (ft. Bjork), Meek Mill, and more.

Here's the June In Defense of the Genre roundup with much of our punk/emo/etc coverage from the past month and the five best new songs...

This week's Notable Releases include The Rentals' psychedelic outer space-themed concept album, Hum's first LP in 22 years, Arca's Bjork & Rosalia-featuring album, MIKE, Buju Banton, and more...

Hum were ahead of their time, and it's as if they needed the world to catch up with them before they could release what may turn out to be their masterpiece.

Today's picks for live videos to watch while you're home and every show is cancelled include Hum in 1998, The Avengers opening for The Sex Pistols' final show in 1978, Tierra Whack at The Rainbow Room, and more.

”Step Into You” finds Hum channelling the same kind of immediacy they had on their '90s hit ”Stars.”

Hum have been reunited for a few years, but only for live shows... until now.
