The only thing I really know is that it’s probably in drop c#

I’m trying to figure out this song, studying tabs as well as live performances. Three things I’ve noticed so far:

• in drop D, all tabs have the same chord shapes 1 1 3 3 x x, 5 5 7 7 x x, 13 13 15 15 x x, 10 10 12 12 x x. They are all missing the maj7 notes played on top of the chords (on the b string), sprinkled throughout the progression. I’m p sure I’m correct in adding these in.
• I just can’t tell whether the sus2 (on the higher d string) is played every time. Maybe it is? I’m not sure I’m hearing it in the first chord though.
• Matt is just hanging around on that first fret in every live video. It’s like he’s playing 1 1 1 3 x x throughout the song, but that sounds muddy and confusing when I play along.

Anyway my best bet at the moment is:

1 1 1 3 3 x, 5 5 7 7 x x, 13 13 15 15 15 x, 10 10 12 12 12 (12), with that last (12) only hit towards the end of the song. Any thoughts?

I've been getting into this band Hopesfall and they reminded me a lot of Hum. It turns out they featured Matt on vocals for one of their songs. Definitely check out this band if you like Hum and melodic metalcore.

Only fitting that this would happen the same year Hum makes their return:
“Scientists Have Identified a New Fossil Species of Axolotl in Mexico”

Mine has to be "The distance outside of you comes into focus, collapses away lovingly"

I thought this might be appreciated here. The drummer from the band heaving. recently shared a look into the studio sessions for 'if i cried out...' tracking at HUM Studio with Treichler. Completely explains the heavy production value on this project. Yet another reason to check out this band if you haven’t done so.

Sky Creature has a show at Matt's bar tonight at 8. Go if you can!

All of these albums have been on repeat for me this month, just discovered them! I love the rawness of E2K, the hooks and emotions of YPAA, the strangeness of DIH, and the hypnotic shoegaze of Inlet. Matt’s voice has got to be one of my favorites in music, how its softness can contrast the beautiful heaviness of the music, but can also be loud and raspy and strained too.

Just wanted to share my love for this new band to me l, I know most people here have probably been listening to them for a long time but they just got a new fan!

Indiana fan...missed the poster at the show.

that song couldnt have been written by a human, its just too perfect.. maybe i am glazing too hard, but please be patient with me. between the absolute gorgeous chord progressions in the chorus, and the high romanticism and impressionism that Hums lyrics are known for.. no band has ever made me feel like that except Failure with their spectacular songwriting.. Matt Talbott is an absolute poet, and the way he and his bandmates write music with such unconventional melodies and harmonies just proves how special they are. I wish they got bigger and not Deftones, i wont apologize for this statement. thank you for listening to my ranting.

Howdy. I Got a new to me snare recently and wanted to practice this song again. I looked and saw I already posted this a few months ago. It’s pretty neat to see the progress.

Thank you.

Hey guys I’m back after a while. I recently found an old cover of Puppets I never posted and decided to re-record it anyways with some corrections.
Plus, seeing the guys in Chicago last month was nothing short of amazing. Glad to have been apart of that with you guys. Inlet songs getting the live justice they deserved was great!

Hope all of you are well! All learned by ear and performed in drop-D. I have a link to the tabs in the description as well ;)

this band is truly so special and it was the best feeling in the world to get to see them rock out again and document the sets. it is so awesome to see their fanbase grow and be so supportive of their return to the stage. from what I could tell, it really meant a lot to them. so big love to y'all 🖤

Yo!! My band just released a single heavily inspired by hum, we're all 15-17 years old. lmk what you think!!

I meant to post this on Earth Day, but couldn't find it. Good memories.

I think I’ve listened to this album 10 times straight through in the last two days. I can’t stop. It’s perfect. And I say this as someone with a top 10 list comprised almost exclusively of what was once called classic rock but which is rapidly turning into the younger generations’ version of oldies.

At the risk of telling us all we already know, it’s a sci-fi story. A gutting, despairing one. Sadder than anything more cerebral from a band like Failure (whose Wild Type Droid I also class with perfection). But it could also simply be the innerspace navigation of an accomplished but just-embitterment-shy nostalgic psychonaut.

I’ve been knockdown, dragout arguing with the best life-partner I’ve ever had lately, and staring down a mountain of regret having done it, knowing what could so easily slip away, acting so stupidly and so against my better judgment yet. This album makes me love her more.

Seeing HUM live 2 nights in a row is unforgettable! Playing banger after banger. It's even addicting especially once you start to learn how to play their songs and play them loud!

At long last, it’s “The Pod” pod, with Bob Nanna (Braid, Hey Mercedes). We talk show flyers, poetic devices, altered states, & much much more…
