Digital will be available from all your favorite retailers such as iTunes, Amazon, etc. while the physical copies will be sold via PopUpRecords.com and StickFigureDistro.com.
Pop Up Records has assembled a diverse cast of bands to pay tribute to one of the 90's most beloved space rockers HUM, and there is good reason to be excited.
The release will celebrate the Champaign, IL collective's all too short career with astounding new takes of classic tracks from some of today's brightest new and up-and-coming bands. Songs Of Farewell And Departure offers a brilliant look at the near decade long reign of HUM through the eyes of the musicians they influenced including Funeral For A Friend, Junius, The Felix Culpa, City of Ships, Solar Powered Sun Destroyer with J. Robbins (Jawbox/Burning Airlines), Stomacher, Kellii Scott (Failure) & Eric Gorfain (The Section Quartet), and much more.
