Humdrum Book Club is from Venice, California, where the group consists of songwriter Andrew Ross and producer John Helfrich. The duo spent 2022-2024 writing songs and building an all-analog studio in which are now being released as singles.
Cascading guitars and subtle hums welcome you to Humdrum Book Club’s latest single, “1997”. Breezy surf-rock tones accent punk-influenced vocals for a psychedelic take on guitar pop. The whirling arrangement doesn’t stop evolving; backing vocals add lush textures to the jagged drum pattern as droning synths add a celebratory element to the whole track. The all-analog band evokes warmth via unique recording techniques, making the song feel dense and honed while keeping the melodies loose and infectious.
