Reviews & press
- Pitchfork ↗ — “The inscrutable shoegaze legends return with a towering reunion album, their first in 22 years. Unexpectedly, it is their most emotionally accessible music yet.”
- Spectrum Culture ↗ — “Those bands are part of a lineage in which the Chicago band Hum is a key member, perhaps even the key member.”
- Treble Zine ↗ — “Hum were ahead of their time back at the end of the ’90s, when they released their last album Downward is Heavenward and then (temporarily) broke up three years later.”
