Pop Up Records has assembled a diverse cast of bands to pay tribute to one of the 90’s most beloved space rockers, HUM, and there is good reason to be excited. The release will celebrate the Champaign, IL collective’s all too short career with astounding new takes of classic tracks from some of today’s brightest new and up-and-coming bands. SONGS OF FAREWELL AND DEPARTURE offers a brilliant look at the near decade long reign of HUM through the eyes of the musicians they influenced.
