Low Hummer are a Hull quintet who do a fine line in wonderfully crafted post-punk meets indie-pop, sprinkled with synths, it is danceable and ridiculously infectious.
Having formed in 2019, Low Hummer have been indulging us with a steady stream of superb singles of the aforementioned ilk – the latest of which, ‘Sometimes I Wish (I Was a Different Person)’, is the best yet. A song about alienation, confusion, contradictions and wishing you could be someone else. ‘Sometimes I Wish (I Was a Different Person)’ opens with a twinkle of electronics and buzzing angular guitar riff, it swaggers along a deep groove interspersed with jerky rhythms, synth riffs, stellar guitar work, fuzz and formidable vocals, and all dripping with syrupy smooth melodies. A massive, powerful and memorable jam – you will be all the better for a wee bit of Low Hummer in your life,
‘Sometimes I Wish (I Was a Different Person)’ is out now through Dance to the Radio.
