{"product_id":"hum-inlet-2lp","title":"Hum - Inlet [2LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eHum's Inlet arrived in 2020 with almost no warning, ending a 22-year silence from the Illinois band, and it sounds every bit as massive as long-time fans had hoped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHum always sat somewhere between space rock, shoegaze and heavy alternative, building towering walls of guitar around Matt Talbott's calm, almost conversational vocals. Inlet doesn't reinvent that formula. Instead it slows things down, tunes lower and lets each song stretch out until it feels geological, as if the band had spent two decades letting the sound settle into bedrock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaves opens with a slow-motion avalanche of riffs, setting the tone for eight long, patient tracks. Desert Rambler is a sprawling epic that drifts between crushing heaviness and starlit calm, while Step Into You finds a warmer, more melodic glow. Folding brings things down gently, like a long exhale after the storm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lyrics circle around space, nature and quiet longing, more felt than spelled out, and the production gives every layer of guitar room to breathe, so the quiet passages feel as huge as the loud ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpread across two discs in a gatefold jacket, Inlet has the weight it deserves on vinyl. It is a comeback that skipped nostalgia entirely and simply carried on, louder and deeper than before.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57453137985841,"sku":"644110502711","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Hum-Inlet_2LP.jpg?v=1794228063","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/hum-inlet-2lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
