In late 2005 SubAudible Hum released their debut full-length album entitled "Everything You Heard Is True". It was a dark, venomous abrasion on the guitar format that also managed to make time for sprawling sonic scenery and downbeat, melancholic intricacy. The record gained SubAudible Hum immediate national radio rotation including a spot on Triple J's Next Crop campaign.
SubAudible Hum write from that mysterious void between emotive art and didactic thesis. The subject matter is always of paramount importance but never at the expense of listening pleasure, in fact SubAudible Hum may just have found the harmonious middle ground between the two. Any modern day themes of global politics, dirty economics, fundamental agendas, and social degradation are always communicated with music, never using it as a soapbox.
Stepping into 2006 SubAudible Hum have a whole new take. Having purged much of their structural and self-imposed stylistic constraints the SubAudible Hum sound is now less definable than ever. Their sophomore effort "In Time For Spring, On Came The Snow" (out in October through Low Transit Industries) swings from drawn-out orchestral opuses to quasi-UK indie trash to dam bursting, almost trip hop anthems. With this release, as always, SubAudible Hum are exploring every crevasse of their musical ambitions.
"In Time For Spring, On Came The Snow" out now, has garnered JJJ's feature album, and the band fresh from a national tour supporting Love Outside Andromeda are in top live form being one of Melbourne's finest acts.
