Sanguine Hum - Now We Have Light Promo

**SuperTed** · 01-12-2015

It's new album time from the guys - woo hoo!

And it's a double CD - woo hoo again!

And it's a concept album - jeez...

... only kidding!

Here's a 5 minute promo with some nice clips (or is that "camples"?) - I'm really looking forward to this one!

**Oreb** · 01-12-2015

I'm also looking foward to this. "Weight of the World" was really first rate.

**Esoteric** · 01-12-2015

The album is fab, I'm playing it a lot at the moment in the office

**undergroundrailroad** · 01-12-2015

Those little clips of music are dynamite. The real vibes are going to be a treat. It's clear that Matt Baber is a fan of that texture.

**Troopers For Sound** · 01-12-2015

Thanks Superted for posting!

Yeah...thanks to Ruth, vibes are all over the place in our stuff. So it was great to have an actual legitimate vibes player for some of the tracks rather than samples. And Jim is an insanely good musician.

Matt.

A concept double album with a cat on the cover. Only a damn fool wouldn't be happy.

**Scrotum Scissor** · 01-13-2015

Anticipated!

**SymfoZone** · 01-13-2015

I always really, really liked the sound of Sanguine Hum, and am therefore looking forward to this.

**Dedatolo** · 01-13-2015

Can't wait, really.

**aith01** · 01-13-2015

Just listened to this promo, which was actually the first time I'd heard anything by Sanguine Hum.

Judging by the clips, this sounds like it's going to be a brilliant collection of music. Definitely hear and appreciate the Zappa influence.

I'm sold! Will be pre-ordering for sure.

**Polypet** · 01-13-2015

It's going to be a killer record, guaranteed. Just brilliant

etc

If you don't know the band and like what you hear you might want to listen to Weight of the World, I think it's a fair representation of the bands sound

**bill g** · 01-14-2015

Wow those clips sound fantastic! Love the style and composition. Auto-buy for sure

**Scrotum Scissor** · 01-14-2015

There are no vinyl plans for this - are there?

**Esoteric** · 01-14-2015

Not unless it sells very well indeed on Cd, we tend to do vinyl on reissues where we know what the market will be or on new albums where we are pretty sure from a bands previous sales we will sell a minimum of 750 copies on vinyl. It's expensive to manufacture and store.

Thanks Vicky! I think I'll do just that.

**Esoteric** · 01-16-2015

Just found this on YouTube, my favourite track from their last album "Weight of the World" . If a bigger name had done it, I reckon it would be declared genius!!!!

**the illusionist** · 01-16-2015

I purchased Weight of the World upon reading many positive posts right here a while back. Voted best record of the year when it was released
Anyway, this was probably the best new band I listened to since picking up my first Flower King record many moons ago.
I was a bit disappointed their catalog was so small. When will this be available?

**Troopers For Sound** · 01-16-2015

It's out Feb 23rd. Technically our catalogue is a bit larger than it seems as our previous projects with (mostly) the same line up go back to 2002 ish. Antique Seeking Nuns is a more zappa/Canterbury tinged band...we play some of that stuff on the Sanguine Hum live album. Joff Winks Band was basically the Nuns with a bit more song writing and actually is pretty close to being Hum like

Then there's Nunbient which was ambient/electronica type instrumental stuff. Most of that is available to stream on band camp if you want to explore!

There's also the fact that Weight of the World has more than just a few nods back in the direction of the Antique Seeking Nuns material. Something which made me personally very happy to discover.

If you like us nodding back to the Nuns then you're gonna LOVE the new one

Exactly why I wrote that - hoping you'd answer with this ^!

**Sputnik** · 01-18-2015

Not even bothering with the promo.. this is auto-buy for me. I've really been impressed with this band. After not thinking they would be for me, they have become one of my favorite modern Prog bands. Really looking forward to this new one.
