Lists are fun, especially nostalgic ones like this. C-U’s HUM is heading out on tour (new website and everything!), starting with tomorrow night’s sold out show with C-U comrades the Dirty Feathers. This is the band’s first significant tour in quite some time. They’ve been featured on SPIN‘s list of “The 95 Best Alternative Rock Songs of 1995” list at #31.
Also, this is still great.
Here’s the text from the article:
31. Hum, “Stars”
The flipside to “Girl From Mars,” Hum’s “Stars” is an equally spectral dream-pop crusher about a girl with a bad case of extraterrestrial envy. The riffing is as gorgeously anthemic and spotless as any ’90s fretwork found outside Siamese Dream, and the lyrics are as simultaneously wondrous and disconcerting as any perplexed-dude gawk at femininity since Talking Heads’ “And She Was.” —A.U.
