Glasgow’s Humour return with post-hardcore driven track ‘Neighbours’, their first single in nearly two years. With last year largely set aside to write new material and land upon the sound that would drive them forward, it represents a thrilling return from the five-piece and one of their heaviest releases to date. ‘Neighbours’ follows two critically-acclaimed EPs from the band in 2022’s Pure Misery and 2023’s A Small Crowd Gathered To Watch Me, both released through tastemaker label So Young.
Accompanied by a claustrophobic suburban-set video directed by Pedro Takahashi, the band’s front man Andreas Christodoulidis had the following to say about the themes behind their new single:
“‘Neighbours’ is about a guy who lives alone but is convinced that a group of mischievous creatures share his flat, deliberately doing things to make him suffer, like turning off the heating in winter, or turning it up when he’s too hot and making noise in the kitchen when he tries to sleep. As he gradually descends into paranoia and psychological instability, he decides to try and get rid of them by turning the oven on and letting gas fill the flat overnight.”
The good news is that further new material is set to follow in 2025.
