Lowland Hum have shared a new single from their highly anticipated new album Glyphonic out May 10. Titled “A Drive Through the Countryside,” the song is a serene rumination on nature’s expanse with ominous undertones. The band tell us, “This one stems from a poem Lauren wrote after feeling both moved and disturbed by the beauty of a drive through the countryside in rural VA. It explores the glory of the landscape here and the horrors of our local history as it relates to slavery and exploitation.”
