You see, our quest for music discovery often leads to interesting places, but rarely those places are as interesting as Humm’s artistic universe. Boasting a solemn elegance and a soothing yet intense character, the Bath-based duo champions a unique and authentic style that builds on acoustic and introspective tones and meaningful lyricism.
They are not just musicians: they are first and foremost activists, using the transformative power of music (and art) to aid social change and personal growth. We’d say they are pretty successful at it: although their career has been rather short, so far, they have achieved a fair bit, even being selected for a live performance at Paul McCartney’s childhood home.
‘Mother Nature’s Lost Love’ is Humm’s latest effort, a follow-up from their debut single ‘Mankind (no more)’. In it, the listener will rejoice in their theatrical, dynamic brand of folk music (defined by the duo as ‘freak-folk). Arty Jackson’s feeble and light acoustic guitar provides the perfect sonic background for Carys Lewin’s picturesque and divine vocals, showcasing their impressive range and dynamism. It’s a triumph, we’d say, cinematic goodness that never tires the ears.
Lyrically, the track focuses on the importance of planet preservation, as the title might suggest. A hymn of love to mother nature, and a call for respect towards our sacred lands.
