Glasgow five-piece, Humour reach a new dynamic height with the latest taste of their upcoming debut album ‘Learning Greek’.
Coated in the dressing of discomfort that we’ve come to expect from Humour, ‘In the Paddies’ explores a reflective narrative of dead characters examining their now lived life. Rich with the dynamic Post-Rock instrumentation that Humour have perfected since their debut EP three years ago, ‘In the Paddies’ is fronted by a chaotic and alien-esque vocal performance from Andreas Christodolidis. ‘In the Paddies’ doesn’t rip through you like previous hits ‘Yeah, Mud!’ or lead single ‘Neighbours’, but Humour prove their versatility here packing ‘In the Paddies’ with the same level of technical ability and punch while also toning things down.
On the track the band add, “‘In the Paddies’ is from the point of view of a character who summons various members of the dead throughout history to rise in a muddy field and asks them what it would take to allow their souls to rest peacefully”.
