Humming House Album Release feat. Umbrella Tree & Andrew Combs
Humming House is the latest of Nashville’s young, throwback string bands, and one that’s found an important advocate in pop producer Mitch Dane, who guided the group’s self-titled debut album. There’s no sense of studied, period-specific antiquing to their music; it’s more like an exuberantly stirred melting pot of aesthetic impressions — sonic, lyric and visual — from the 1950s and before. Leading the way is singer-songwriter Justin Wade Tam, whose vocal performances have a Britfolk quality, his singing an earnest and angular cross between Marcus Mumford and Johnny Flynn. When the entire band really gets cooking, rounded out by singer Kristen Rogers and instrumentalists Mike Butera, Joshua Wolak and Ben Jones, they churn out sprightly, spirited shuffles with a hopped-up, rockabilly-inspired backbeat — the perfect dance music for the retro-loving crowd.
