Three-piece alt-folk band The Howl & The Hum have dropped the official video for their new single, ‘Thumbs Up’. It’s a laid-back tune that quietly wanders through a variety of impressive melody lines, evoking the melancholy early work of Radiohead and Jeff Buckley. Lead vocalist Sam Griffith’s explains that “this song was written in the silence after suicides of friends, during depressive episodes, and over non-existent conversations about how we communicate our feelings.” The accompanying music video comes from the mind of Australian director Matthew Thorne, who has created an incredible piece of work to go with the track. -Dan Peeke
