Human Music

Raucous new live prospect, Human Music have just announced their sophomore single ‘Fingers’ [released March 26th] - a synth driven doom groove that veers between eccentric pop songwriting & noisy, confrontational post punk. This song is accompanied by a video, shot at SET in Woolwich & directed, edited and produced by the band themselves. On the day of release, Human Music will follow this with a headline show at the Shacklewell Arms promoted by Bad Vibrations [with support from Body Horror & Pigeonhole] - Saturday, March 26th. The story of the video & single explores corporeal commoditisation as the metaphor of exchange between our daily sufferings & demonic spiritual sacrifice. Under the guise of a lecherous businessman the songs’ protagonist has his true hellish identity slowly revealed, most evident by the final refrain “I demand a supply; I’ll drink your water dry” - a reference to the more appalling reality underpinning this demonic clerk, as he requires the sanguine life force of his victims to continue his sermon, yet couches it in economic terminology. As spoken by the band, “Fingers is a product of thorough stress testing throughout various live shows and various band-members' mental states. Its current iteration, a true labour of love/hate, establishes an intensity straight from the primal screams’ starting pistol. This intensity is sustained throughout the song as an almost self-generating mechanised lattice of synth-laden doom riffs.”
