The Bath-based contemporary folk duo Humm release their upcoming single ‘Danced Alone (who I am when I’m in love)’ tomorrow.
Since 2018, Humm has been captivating audiences with their deadly combination of melodic finger-style guitar, lush, ethereal vocals, and rich harmonium drones, creating genre-defining tracks that are mellifluous yet anthemic, capturing nature, folklore, and Cornish fairytale in every song. They were recently chosen from hundreds as one of four acts to visit, write, and perform at Sir Paul & Mike McCartney’s childhood home, 20 Forthlin Road in Liverpool as part of The Forthlin Sessions.
They are inspired by a plethora of artists from Richard Thompson and Joni Mitchell to Eels, Radiohead, and XTC, which has helped them to untie traditional and contemporary styles, carving out their own signature sound. The importance and presence of nature are at the heart of Humm’s music, with conversational melodies and wistful instrumentation bringing their earnest lyrics to life.
Following up on their recent single Mother Nature’s Lost Love, their upcoming single Danced Alone (who I am when I’m in love), produced, mixed, and mastered with Josh Clark at Get Real Audio, blends gorgeous harmonies, delicate, driving guitar lines and poignant lyrics to explore self-love, reflection and appreciation for the hard lessons you learn after a complicated relationship.
“It is a love letter to the newly lonely, exploring the difficulties of losing yourself within a relationship and finding yourself in the aftermath. This song is a reminder for you to love and appreciate yourself and the beautiful world around you”, the due stare.
Danced Alone (who I am when I’m in love) is due for release this October 20th 2023 and will be available on all major platforms.
