Does anyone else like the long forgotten 90s band Hum?
I still love them.
Downward Is Heavenward is a fantastic album and criminally overlooked.
You'd Prefer An Astronaut is very good as well.
Anyone else dig?

They are reissuing Downward on vinyl. Sounds like there might be some extras along with it. The process is moving slow, but it's happening.
Matt also has been selling OG vinyl copies of Electra and Astronaut. Electra is gone, but there still may be opportunities for Astronaut.

No UK dates as yet though :(

Thanks for posting OP - always nice to learn about a new (to me) band.
I think this quote from the Wikipedia page says it best: Ned Ragget from Allmusic wrote, "Having scored their fluke hit with 'Stars', Hum hunkered down and created a follow-up album that went nowhere, leading to the band's splintering. An unfortunate result all around, because, arguably, Downward Is Heavenward isn't merely the group's best album, but a lost classic of '90s rock, period.
I love it.
It's shockingly overlooked.

Hum is one of those bands that I'll listen to a lot then put them away for long periods. It's been cool to rediscover them again and again.
