Twenty-two years after their last album, Champaign, Illinois heavyweights Hum came back with Inlet in 2020, presented here on CD.
The band spent the late nineties as a cult favourite of space rock and alternative fans, their records prized for guitars that sounded like weather systems. When they surprise-released Inlet, nobody was quite prepared for how fully formed it felt. This is no reunion record coasting on goodwill; it sounds like a band that kept writing in its head the whole time it was away.
Waves opens with a slow-moving wall of distortion, Matt Talbott's low, plain-spoken vocals floating somewhere inside it. Desert Rambler stretches out into a long, patient build and an enormous release, while Folding and Cloud City balance the crush with moments of eerie calm. The guitars are thick and layered but never muddy, and the drums give the slow tempos real heft.
Lyrically the album leans toward the cosmic and the domestic at once, with images of space, nature and memory tangled together. It rewards headphones as much as volume.
Inlet found a new audience among younger shoegaze and heavy fans as well as the old guard, and it stands as one of the strongest comeback albums of its decade. Play it loud and let it fill the room.
