Indie post-punk 4-piece Human Noise have built a strong reputation for writing music that is agitated, introspective, and wry. Injected with equal measures of angst and humour, their songs comment on both the self and society with acute awareness, leaving the audience refocusing that lens back on themselves.

Currently basing themselves between Sydney and Melbourne, the band released their 2nd LP Glitching Colour in April 2024. The record was named Feature Album on 2ser, and marked an evolution in the band's sound. 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 post-rock euphoria of opener Weight on the Ground to the resilient playfulness of closing track Regulate. 

Co-produced with Blain Cunneen (Peter Garret, Julia Jacklin), the album was recorded in the winter of 2022, in
 a cottage on the South Coast of NSW. Tracked in the lounge room, with Blain in a tiny bedroom/control room, the record was made over 10 days amongst a tangle of leads and coffee mugs. 

Whilst marking a significant sonic page turn for the band, Glitching Colour evolves out of the unique brand of rock music established on debut LP, Animal People. Released in 2021, Animal People seized the attention of the Australian underground. Lead single, One Time, was featured as Rolling Stone Australia’s ‘Song You Need to Know,’ with other cuts enjoying high rotation on Sydney’s FBi Radio and plays on Triple J, Double J, and Triple J Unearthed. The band were named FBi’s Independent Artist of the Week and toured the album extensively across Australia. 

The members of Human Noise are heavily involved in the Australian music scene, and have spent time touring and recording with other acts including Julia Jacklin, Dan Sultan, Middle Kids, and CLEWS.
