HOLY HUM ANNOUNCES DEBUT ALBUM
 |
| Holy Hum "All Of My Bodies" | |
Holy Hum, aka Vancouver-based
artist Andrew Lee, has announced his debut album, All
Of My Bodies, arriving October 6, offering up a video for the first
single, “White Buzz”, today – watch + share via YouTube – and
making the album available for pre-order HERE.
Lee wrote All Of My Bodies shortly after
the passing of his father. After spending a month by his father’s
side in the hospital, Lee became acutely aware of all the machines keeping
people alive. The hum from these machines took on a transcendent
meaning and is where the idea for Holy Hum was born. During this time,
hiding out, Lee felt the freedom to experiment artistically and musically
without any commercial pressures. Creating music purely for himself,
as a mechanism in which to grieve and move on.
All Of My Bodies was largely recorded at
Lee’s home studio, with drums and a lot of the vocals, done at The Unknown,
Phil Elverum’s studio in Anacortes, WA, along with the entirety of track,
“White Buzz”. The album was recorded between 2013 thru 2015, then
mixed and mastered in 2016. It took Lee a long time to complete
because he was learning the recording software he used as he was going
along.
Lee shelved All Of My Bodies for some time
while releasing a series of singles, starting with the hour-long “Appendix
C”, on New Years Day 2015, and followed by a 7” single, “Appendix A + B” in
2016, on the great Kingfisher Bluez (Xiu Xiu, Dirty Beaches, Laura Viers,
Allison Crutchfield).
Holy Hum encapsulates the space in Lee’s mind where he
thinks about sound - whether it be in strictly abstracted forms, like in
art installations in galleries, or whether it be in a standard post-rock
format at a concert venue. With Holy Hum Lee has been able to put on varied
performances, from a strip mall in East Vancouver, an installation in an
abandoned fur vault, a performance using only salvaged organs obtained via
Craigslist, the Vancouver Planetarium, The Vancouver Art Gallery,
Kunstradio in Vienna, and outdoor festivals, adapting to the venue based on
acoustic and aesthetic considerations.
Lee will be leaving his home in
Vancouver, Canada this fall, to settle in Brooklyn, New York. Live
performances in the northeast and Europe are in the works for the months
ahead.
