With Love From Humans! have landed…
This energetic and optimistic pop explosion blasts from Bath in the United Kingdom.
The quintessential With Love From Humans! sound walks the line between the Strokes and the Beach Boys, cultivating catchy guitar lines, delectable drum patterns and impassioned vocal harmonies with a smattering of trumpets, delivering the whole bundle in a recognisably British manner.
Since the formation in the dusk of 2007 our travels have taken us on two UK tours, playing over 60 dates including slots at Glastonbury, Beach Break Live, The Larmer Tree festival and the BBC’s Fresh on the Net festival, to name but a few. We were also fortunate enough to support the latest “Best UK Female” at the Brit Awards, Laura Marling. Our latest record was recorded in Miloco Studios (as used by Oasis, Bloc Party, Chemical Brothers and Biffy Clyro etc), produced by James Barr (Yann Tiersen, Kellly Rowland) and mastered by Jon Astley (Led Zeppelin, KT Tunstall).
The release of our eponymous debut EP with Expat Records marks the beginning of a new era of With Love From Humans! and will swiftly be followed with the recording of a full length album, likely to be released in 2012, if the world doesn’t end…*
*Mad scientists maintain that if the world appears to be ending, then purchasing a copy of any With Love From Humans! record is likely to save 98.7% of people!
Quotes
"Imagine a hybrid of VanMorrison & TheKooks but really really good. Joyous & uplifting. We love them dearly!"
- Tom Robinson (BBC 6 music, 17.08.09)
"Impressive, upbeat and funky acoustic pop, energetic stage presence"
- Acoustic Magazine (released 28/08/09)
"The pièce de resistance of the Bath set was With Love From Humans, a funky mass of guitars and a trumpet who really had me dancing!"
- Sophie Collard (Suit Yourself Magazine)
"If a distant civilization in a far-away galaxy were to open a package labelled With Love From Humans they would release an unruly snapshot of modern life and love from our 21st Century planet. An antidote to gloom and foreboding, these guys chop out an upbeat carnival of charm and wistfulness; a peculiarly British sound that wraps up elements of Kinks, Kooks, melody, rhythm and atmosphere. They're as upbeat a postcard from Earth as we're likely to send..." Producer, Davey Ray Moore.
"Brilliantly cute and quirky. These boys are incredibly talented. A fantastic example of British indie-pop. Some of the best new talent the UK has to offer. 9.5/10"
- Blissdelamess Promotions, London
"Pulse-quickening pop that gets you dancing without your permission. With Love From Humans! pump out irrepressible optimism."
-Melanie Harrison (Venue Magazine)
"I have seen this band live a couple of times this year and their sound and musical ethos works so well. The first time that I saw them was at Moles Club in Bath, UK. At this gig their guitarist was unable to join them so to fill the void a friend was on stage with a tambourine, later to be accompanied by audience members. The feel-good party atmosphere which this created was just so much fun. I did get to see them play at a local music festival with a full line up and this was a fantastic set, within minutes the whole marquee was either dancing in full swing or just gently jigging along to the music as they stood watching whilst holding their drinks. With Love From Humans have got a sound, which is so unique to them. This new EP is an amazingly upbeat and scintillating offering. It is full of funky sweetly driven rhythms harmonies and choruses that entice you into the mood of the music. This great young band has created a sound full of summer magic that will keep you going all year around."
-Nick Giles (Inclination)
