Sleeper of the Week: Hear Hums

Hear Hums are nothing, if not a visually complex DIY band. For fans of Animal Collective, Mystic Chords of Memory, Do Make Say Think, and Broken Social Scene’s Feel Good Lost.

Hear Hums are nothing, if not a visually complex DIY band. Their tunes have enough grace to represent the light twinkling through the trees on an afternoon drive. But also enough raw noise to be the stiff bark of an old tree, within a dark city. Visual descriptions aside, Hear Hums is a band worth checking out. They give us the right amount of twists and turns, and will indeed please an experimental ear. For fans of Animal Collective, Mystic Chords of Memory, Do Make Say Think, and Broken Social Scene’s Feel Good Lost.

It is indeed. I love records that have both vocals, and pieces that are more expressive through instrumentations. Makes for a good balance.
