The hum is the sound
In the sound, in the sound
Hum
Jennifer and Wayne would often times complain,
Viewing a house where a factory remained,
The singular reason they pulled out of the sale.
It would never pass in pursuit of middle class
To wake up to that din, It really wouldn’t do,
How could they retire when the poor refused to, when the poor refused to?
Clever Mrs B, she cared for herself,
Preferring poppies to cigarettes I’d say.
Found the poison nectar, draped in nicotine
Equivalent of dose to 60 fags a day.
Should we side with pest, or let human do its best?
Eradicate with ease, a hundred million years
The hum is the people is the sound
Of the people in the sound
Are the people in the sound
Of the people is the
Hum, is the buzzing is the sound
Of the buzzing of the bees,
Is the humming of the
Sound of the buzzing is the
Hum
To wake up to that din, It really wouldn’t do,
How could they retire when the poor refused to, when the poor refused to?
The hum is a factory is a mine is a playground is a hive is a garden is a school is a village is a choir is a forest is a town is a person is a group is a heart is a mind is a voice is the hum.

This whole EP is bangin' btw. Beautiful work xx Gill Loomes-Quinn
Alt/Psych/Wyrd folk release from the UK’s Kerry Andrew. Crystal clear vocals, with keyboards, recorder, pipes, cello, bass and electric guitars, banjolele, trumpet, and various percussive elements. Here, they cover traditional tunes, as well as offering original pieces, with a watery theme. Eerie and evocative, the pieces often start simply and veer off into something else entirely.

Epic, immersive songs that you disappear into, with rich layers of keys and ghostly vocal melodies conjuring a misty dreamworld. Bandcamp New & Notable May 2, 2022
Martin is one of the finest steel string finger style guitarists on the planet as well as a great singer. Simply beautiful heart felt music and I highly recommend exploring his vast catalogue. Dan Ferguson
