Semi - Instrumental rock with the occasional vocals, a sip of folk, an few bars of electronica, an ounce of 60-70s progressive rock, seasoned with some 90's-00's indie, post and mainstream rock.
Seasons In The Hum is the sound of seven years of
lingering ideas finally coming to frutation in The Samuel
Jackson Five's most meditative and mellow work to date.
Old tunes have been twisted and turned, unfinished
skeletons hiding on rusty harddrives have been dressed
up. The result being a short and sweet musical postcard.
Recorded both above the tree line at Melody Mountain in
Valdres, and in claustrophic rehearsal rooms in Oslo
between June 2008 until May 2014, the album is the result
of hours of listening to old sketches that for some reason
never have been finished, until now.
Thanks to Thomas Meidell's sound engineering and
Thomas Kaldhols visual artistery the album has been
made with virtually no budget, but not without a little help
from some musical friends. Åsa Ree (Einar Stray
Orchestra) added violin, Kaja Pettersen (Marit Larsen)
cello, Trond Gjellum (Panzerpappa, The Suburban
Savages) percussion and Magnus Nielsen (Magnus
Moriarty TM, Meta Forever) theremin.
Seasons In The Hum is the result of a band that has
stopped overthinking music, started to relax and just
making tunes for the fun of it.
