Matt Talbott (of HUM) has been writing and recording a bit during the COVID-19 pandemic’s stay-at-home time, and he’s released a demo of a track “Way Up Here”, which you can stream below. He posted the 16-plus-minute track yesterday, and back in September, Talbott released “Sinister Webs” in a similar fashion. It seems that at some point, we will get an EP of some sort, if Talbott sees fit.
You can read more about the release below via his Bandcamp, and I’ve also included the Facebook post which discussses it a bit more:
Written and recorded during the Covid-19 quarantine on Thursday, April 16, in the late afternoon. The silence at the top of the song is intended. Give it time. Recorded live, first take. Lacking perfection in so many ways.
This is a fund raiser, of sorts, to help me cover ongoing mortgage, utility, and insurance obligations at my studio while it’s closed. Gifts above the $2 asking price are thus thankfully accepted. Mostly, just thank you for listening. I hope this brings you some inner peace. And Happy Bicycle Day!
The air was full of wonder
But it would not transfer soundRecorded live and hastily to 2″ analog tape by the artist. It was a real fucking rodeo. Trust me.
