Hum's new album "Inlet" is finally here and it's brilliant!

They are finally back! I've been following them for years on social media, and for the past 3-4 years they have hinted at a new album. Well, it's finally out and it's (in my opinion) the best thing they've ever done. I'm on my 3rd listen and I can't get enough of it. Most of the songs are 8-9 minutes long and the jams are incredible. Google search "Hum Inlet" for numerous glowing reviews. It's streaming on Tidal now - but not on Qobuz yet. Available for download at Bandcamp (MP3 and FLAC). Looks like CD and vinyl will be further down the road.

Enjoy!

It's also available on Bandcamp (my favorite site): https://humband.bandcamp.com/album/inlet

Agreed -- it's a fine album. Then again, I'm a sucker for shoegaze (or its offshoots).

I like Bandcamp too. I provided their download link in my original post.

I like that they now have a southwestern "desert rock" sound, like Kyuss, on some songs, and an underlying My Bloody Valentine guitar sound on others. The fact that they made both of those sounds work together on one album is pretty amazing.
