HUMAN NOISE
Based between Melbourne and Sydney, post-punk four piece Human Noise have built a reputation for making music that is energetic, agitated and introspective. Their sophomore album Glitching Colour was released in 2024 to a glowing reception across Australia including a feature as 2ser radio’s ‘Album of the Week’.
Written under the shadows of the pandemic and the 2020 bushfires, Glitching Colour processes isolation, repetition, and anxiety. Wrestling polyrhythms, gritty synths, and rigid drum machines paint a tense backdrop for the subject matter, delivered urgently by frontman Eddie Boyd. The album’s darkness is balanced by a frustrated optimism declared across its runtime; from the postrock euphoria of opener Weight on the Ground to the resilient playfulness of closing track Regulate. Magnolia finds warmth during lockdown through unabashed veneration of a lover stuck in another city, while Accumulation offers a mantra for patient self-care.
