Low Hum - Terra Incognita (Clear Vinyl, 180 Gram Vinyl)

Opaque Citrus vinyl. Low Hum, the kaleidoscopic creation of artist Collin Desha, lives in a Lo-fi meets Hi-fi futurism: blending heavy fuzzed-out riffs, oceanic tranquility, and pop sensibilities, juxtaposed alongside melodious synths and honeyed, harmonious vocals. The album explores uncharted sonic territories in a journey through psychedelic soundscapes with grounding lyrical concepts that call to our courageous self; to face the unknown. The consummate Low Hum bass synth tone and ripping riffs on opening track "Meet Me In The Sky" are instant welcome-to-the-show earworms. "Only If You Say So" winds through multiple hairpin curves with it's dark, driving arpeggiator ending blissfully in an ethereal wall of sound, while the writhing guitar and haunting vocals on "Sultry" keep you sleeping with one eye open. Album closer, "Your Love" is a true testament to Desha's multifaceted nature and depth of artistry in it's sensitive and heart-baring simplicity. "It's a compelling, dynamic, deeply satisfying composition..."
