Champaign, Illinois band Hum is reissuing its four-album catalog (Electra 2000, You’d Prefer An Astronaut, Downward Is Heavenward, Inlet). The band members oversaw every step of the re-mastering, lacquer cutting, and manufacturing stages while working with original designer Andy Mueller/OhioGirl in updating the artwork. All records manufactured at RTI in California.

Hum are Jeff Dipsey, bass and vocals; Tim Lash, guitar, vocals and voices; Bryan St. Pere, drums and vocals; and Matt Talbott, guitar and vocals.

Hum’s second studio album Electra 2000 was originally released by the alternative rockers in 1993. In a retrospective review, Tiny Mix Tapes called Electra 2000 “the group’s heaviest and most relentless album.” Trouser Press called the album “bracingly loud but generically obvious in its attack: simple melodies kicked along with a brisk backbeat and covered in sizzling sensual guitar aggression.”
