Heavy, Spacey, Mesmerizing: Hum's Downward Is Heavenward
After 90s alt-rockers Hum gained a small amount of fame with their 1995 single "Stars", the band headed back to the studio to make their next record. By the time the Downward Is Heavenward was released in 1998, perhaps rock was ready for something else. The record garnered little attention, and the band dissolved, not putting out another record for another 22 years! But the record lived on, and it's masterful blend of space rock, grunge, post-hardcore, and a touch of emo sensibilities has lead many to consider it one of the best alt rock records of the 90s. Join us as we play a few tracks from this true hidden classic from rock's last great decade.
