Starting from its solo to the synth coming in and followed by the final vocals is one of my favorite parts on the record. I'm glad they put a shorter song in the middle to break it up a bit.

Also, the middle part of 'Desert Rambler' starting around 2:30 is a favorite and reminds me a lot of 90s Slowcore music especially Red House Painters before they crank it back up and finish in epic fashion.

What a gift this record has been. I spent many summer nights walking while listening to this.

Can’t wait to give this one a listen. If it’s anything close to DIH, I’m all in. Like the posters mentioned before, that was a GREAT album.

Inlet is their best effort (it's amazing) and my pick for the best album of 2020 in a LOADED year.

Wow that’s a name I haven’t heard…

Thanks for sharing, I absolutely wore out that CD with Stars.

Thanks for bumping this. The only thing I heard from Hum was Stars back in the day, but I’ve been listening to their other albums and they have some good shite.

Inlet has some bangers, currently going through that album

Cool bump man. I’m still holding onto the hope that the rest of the band will want to play these songs live one day.
