Here's a goody for everyone, the band is called Hum and they are from Illinois. They play alternative rock with nods to punk and are considered one of the pioneers of the questionable genre people call "space rock". This album gained the band some mainstream success upon its release, but until recently it seems like few have appreciated them. Though they seem under listened at least they were still highly influential. Chino Moreno, singer of the successful Deftones actually puts this album in his top 13 albums of all time, and claims he was shooting for this guitar tone in their early albums. Also his song "Knife Party" sounds very similar to Hum's "Little Dipper". Perhaps an ode? Anyway check this record out, it's great. Also the band is playing reunion shows soon, kinda weird but im hoping we'll get a repress out of it.
