Andrew Lee, aka Holy Hum didn’t set out to make a record that centred on the death of his father but when creating what would become his debut record ‘All Of My Bodies’, the Vancouver based musician inadvertently forged an album that helped provide a certain type of catharsis. It was something he didn’t feel he wanted to share with the world but the overall outcome proved that to come to terms with such a seismic moment in his life – committing such an intimate, personal experience to wax has given the artist the emotional outlet he
didn’t quite know he needed.
The album’s eponymous, opening track sets the tone of the record; warping withdrawn synths envelope skittering beats while Lee’s disembodied slur positions itself somewhere between disconnected and a kind of numbness associated with grief. Lee can be heard exploring his own mortality “how do you say to someone/this is all there ever is/this all there ever will be”. It’s a stark, human touch in a record that has two feet planted in the organic and the synthetic ends of the sonic spectrum.
