A new addition to Glasgow’s ever-evolving music scene, Humour have shared their debut single ‘yeah, mud!’.
Formed during the 2021 lockdown, the band’s music was intended as a backdrop to Andreas Christodoulidis’ lyrics, but has since taken on a life of its own – their intention being, not to tell the listener something profound, but to paint a picture and ignite their imagination.
Still very much in their formative years as a group, early support slots with Do Nothing and Folly Group have instantly earmarked them as ones to watch – their frenetic mix of off-kilter post-punk, erratic indie-pop and post-hardcore magnetic to witness.
Living up to that early promise, ‘yeah, mud!’ arrives. It’s a sharp, punchy track – driven by Andreas’ frantic lyrical energy and a melting pot of influences.
They said “This song was one that just came to us. I think it came together in less than an hour and everything just seemed to fit first time. A lot of the lyrics are inspired by an old book Andreas read. In this book a soldier realises he’s about to die and writes his mother a note. I think it’s interesting to think about what you might have to say if you realised you were going to die in a few minutes, and what you’d then say to your mother. Lots of pressure to come up with something important.”
