Glasgow band Humour will release their debut album ‘Learning Greek’ on August 8th.
The group cut their teeth with two exceptional EPs – 2022’s ‘Pure Misery’ and 2023’s ‘A Small Crowd Gathered To Watch Me’ – and returned with new single ‘Neighbours’ a few months back.
Taking time over their next step, Humour’s debut album ‘Learning Greek’ was recorded alongside Idlewild’s Rod Jones at his Edinburgh studio.
Out on August 8th via pivotal independent label So Young Records, the record is trailed by new single ‘Plagiarist’.
A real rocket, the caustic post-punk tones are twisted into something immediate, and deeply potent.
Vocalist Andreas Christoloudis had the following to say about its themes:
‘Plagiarist’ is about being a lyricist and having run out of ideas and inspiration. In the song, the character is under pressure to put words to music written by the band, and realises that he can’t even steal lines from his favourite books because he has already used them all. He fears being discovered as a fraud and being punished for it with death.
Tune in now.
