“humbert”
A listen to Humbert is like taking a big swig of whole milk after months and months of skim. Rich, smooth and creamy, Humbert’s pop anthems are fleshed out by solid walls of guitar fuzz and lush vocal harmonies straight out of Queen. Hooky choruses float through the fine-grained miasma like pearls on silk. A definite find!
