Indie Folk from Humm

Humm, the progressive folk duo based in Bath, has recently released their latest single “Mother Nature’s Lost Love”. This piece is yet another example of the band’s ability to capture the essence of nature and weave it into their music. Humm, formed by musicians Arty Jackson and Carys Lewin, was chosen from hundreds of acts to participate in the Forthlin Sessions in 2022, where they wrote and performed at Sir Paul and Mike McCartney’s childhood home at 20 Forthlin Road, Liverpool.

Since 2018, the duo has been captivating audiences with their unique blend of melodic finger-style guitar, lush ethereal vocals and rich harmonic drones. Their songs tell stories of nature, folklore and Cornish fairy tales, all while drawing inspiration from a wide range of artists, from Richard Thompson and Joni Mitchell to Eels, Radiohead and XTC. Humm has managed to unite traditional and contemporary styles, creating a fresh new sound that’s both nostalgic and original.

“Mother Nature’s Lost Love” is a beautiful piece that blends elegant vocals and lullabying guitar to craft a mesmerising soundscape. The track starts with a dreamy, almost hypnotic quality that pulls the listener into the song’s world. As the song progresses, the instrumentation becomes more intricate, adding layers of complexity to the piece.

The lyrics of “Mother Nature’s Lost Love” speak to Humm’s core message, which is to unite fellow nature-lovers with their inner activists. As staunch environmentalists, the duo believes that their music always leads back to one place; the importance of planet preservation. In “Mother Nature’s Lost Love”, the lyrics reflect this sentiment, with the song serving as a call to action urging listeners to take responsibility for the state of our planet and do their part to protect it.

Humm’s sound is unique and immersive, and their latest release “Mother Nature’s Lost Love” is a testament to the duo’s penchant for capturing the essence of nature in their music. They’ve created a piece that’s both hauntingly beautiful and thought-provoking, and it acts as a reminder that we all have a responsibility to protect our planet. Humm’s “Mother Nature’s Lost Love” is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates beautiful music with an important message.
