Before the space-rock heaviness of their later classics, Hum were already making a glorious racket on Electra 2000, reissued here on CD.
Originally released in 1993, it was the second album from the Champaign, Illinois band, a band that would later earn a fiercely loyal following among guitar obsessives. Hum sat somewhere between alternative rock, noise and the early stirrings of shoegaze, with Matt Talbott's half-sung, half-buried vocals floating over guitars that sound like weather systems. It is rougher and more urgent than what followed, and that is exactly its charm.
"Iron Clad Lou" kicks the door in with crunching, wiry riffs and restless energy. "Pewter" leans into heavier, grinding territory, while "Shovel" balances muscle with a surprisingly catchy hook. Closing stretch highlight "Winder" shows the band stretching out, letting walls of distortion swell and recede in a way that points straight to their later work.
The production is raw and loud, but the songwriting is sharper than its reputation suggests, and the album has aged far better than many of its peers.
For fans who came in through the band's later records and want the full story, or anyone who loves the crossroads of noise and melody, Electra 2000 is well worth the dig.
