At the tail end of 2022, Glasgow's Humour put out their debut EP ‘Pure Misery’, a six-track fever dream that established the band as one of the most exciting new bands on the circuit, a record they called themselves "a montage of miserable things... a bit desperate and a bit grim, but also a bit ridiculous". Already known for the strength and raw unpredictability of their shows, 2023 saw more touring, their inclusion in the NME100 and the group taking further strides with A Small Crowd Gathered To Watch Me, a second collection of songs that showed a further progression towards capturing the powerful sound that emanates from their live stage - "something unique: vocals that veer wildly between extremes, sometimes a manic gibbering mess, others an emotive swagger, the instrumentals tightly wound and hard-hitting." (NME)
Humour live together in Glasgow and formed across the lockdowns, writing and recording their material at home, with the music intended as a backdrop to Andreas' narrative-driven and often surreal lyrics. Sometimes they’re about letting people down, sometimes they’re about pets dying, sometimes they’re about trying to say something when you don’t have anything worth saying.
The imagery of the lyrics is reflected in the illustrative designs Andreas makes for the single and album artworks, making drawings to go along with each of their songs, and the visuals behind the lyric videos for previous singles.
