Sanguine Hum featured in Classic Rock Presents Prog
Sanguine Hum are featured in the latest edition of Classic Rock Presents Prog magazine. The band are interviewed as part of the on the threshold feature, accompanying a very positive review that you can read here!
“Although originally rooted in what some called the Canterbury Sound when they first appeared a few years back, by the time Prog caught up with them at last year’s Winter’s End festival, Sanguine Hum had developed into an altogether different but appealing proposition. True, there are still elements of Caravan’s melodic quirk to be found within the band’s sound, but on this, their debut, there’s also a more contemporary air to the Hum’s work, aided by guitarist/vocalist Joff Winks’ vocal similarity to 3′s Joey Eppard.
That, and the brevity of much of the material on offer, may make the likes of The Ladder and No More Than We Deserve appear like a band flirting with a progressive sound, but dig deep into the gentle carousel swirl of Nothing Between Us, or the Rush-like guitar of Coast of Nebraska and you’ll discover a more than worthwhile well of engagingly progressive music.
That said, anyone doubting the worth of this hugely impressive Oxford-based quartet only need listen to the intricate twists and turns of the title track and There’s No Hum to be convinced we’ve got another little progressive gem on our hands”.

Album Preview/Eppy Gibbon Interview
Back in June Joff and Matt made themselves comfortable on another warm and inviting sofa… this time at the studio of the Epileptic Gibbon in order to record a second interview for Eppy’s wonderfully eclectic podcast show. The topic under discussion this time was, not surprisingly, the forthcoming Sanguine Hum album Diving Bell and the sometimes rocky road that had led the band to this point in time. It’s a fun interview and you will also get to hear no less than six of the brand new tracks from the album, plus a selection of other material. The interview is streamable via a variety of means from the following site:
Sanguine Hum on the Interesting Alternative Show
Joff Winks and Matt Baber will be the guests on tomorrow’s Interesting Alternative Show with Steve Davis on Pheonix FM. Steve has been a long standing supporter of all of the music here at TFS so you can expect a healthy dose of Nuns/Nunbient/JWB, along with a selection of some of the key influences that were behind the early recordings, plus, we will also be premiering a brand new Sanguine Hum song called Diving Bell which is still in the “rough mix” stage, but will give everyone an exciting glimpse into what to expect when the full album is released later this year. Show time is between 10pm and midnight!
