SONGS OF FARWELL AND DEPARTURE: A Tribute To HUM Welcomes Constants, Open Hand, and Solar Powered Sun Destroyer to Line-Up

[Miami, Florida - June 29, 2010] Pop Up Records and the entire HUM Tribute Team are extremely excited to announce the addition of Constants [Mylene Sheath Records], Open Hand[Anodyne Records], and Solar Powered Sun Destroyer to our tribute album to HUM, joining the previously announced (Damn) This Desert Air, Funeral For A Friend, The Esoteric, and Anakin. There is no doubt on the influence of HUM on each of these bands, and we are thrilled to have their involvement in the project.

After setting the world ablaze with their critically acclaimed full length debut The Foundation, The Machine, The Ascension, and tireless touring schedule, Boston’s Constants (http://www.myspace.com/constants) headed back to the studio to record their next offering, If Tomorrow The War. The record was produced by Justin K. Broadrick of Jesu/Godflesh fame, and is certainly one of the most anticipated releases of the year.

Open Hand (http://www.myspace.com/openhand) have triumphantly returned from a long absence since their last record You And Me in 2005. Five years later, the Los Angeles natives have overhauled their line-up, their sound, and their record label with Honey, their impressive Anodyne Records debut. As on their previous record, Open Hand has continued to work with Hum’s Matt Talbott as a frequent collaborator, with tremendous results all around.

Washington, DC’s Solar Powered Sun Destroyer (http://www.myspace.com/spsdmusic) may be a new name to some, but won’t be for long. Gearing up to release their J. Robbins (Jawbox/Burning Airlines) produced full length debut Sender//Receiver before the year’s end, SPSD are more than ready to start building their own space rock legacy. The quintet’s three guitar assault blasts layers of sonic bliss that is sure to resonate with Hum fans worldwide.

The open casting call has been a great success so far in finding bands interested in the tribute. We have had an overwhelming response, and appreciate all those who have contacted us. Submissions are still open if your band is interested; please send your information, music, and a brief message about why you’d like to be involved to humtribute@popuprecords.com.
