The Hum, the third album by the folk music duo O'Hooley & Tidow, was released on 17 February 2014 on the No Masters label.[1][2] Inspired by the sights and sounds of the Colne Valley,[3] it has been described as "a collection of songs paying homage to the West Riding village of Golcar",[4] the former industrial village in the West Riding of Yorkshire where Belinda O'Hooley and Heidi Tidow share a home together.[4]
Production
The vocals, piano, electric piano and accordion on the album were recorded in Golcar, Huddersfield, by Belinda O'Hooley, Heidi Tidow and Neil Ferguson of Chumbawamba. The other instruments were arranged, performed and recorded at Tunehouse Studio, London, by Gerry Diver. The album was mixed and produced by Gerry Diver at Tunehouse Studio, London.[5]
Reception
The Hum received a four-starred review in The Irish Times.[6]
In The Guardian, Robin Denselow described it as the duo's most experimental album to date with "thoughtful, inventive songs about industry, migrant workers and war alongside a sturdy tribute to Pussy Riot; an exquisite lament about motherhood and sacrifice; a mystical love story about a fox who becomes a woman, and a haunting treatment of Ruins By the Shore, the Nic Jones song of time and decay. Surely one of the albums of the year".[7]
