In this episode of the Talkhouse Music Podcast, Philip Selway (Radiohead drummer and outstanding solo artist) has a really lovely conversation with one of his favorite new musicians, Ghostpoet, who weds vivid poetry with flowing grooves.  (Offstage, he's Obaro Ejimiwe, and he happens to be a big Radiohead fan.)
    The two had never met before, but you can hear them hit it off, as they get deep into their processes in a really candid and insightful way, and get to places that only two musicians can get.
    Selway has some really great reminiscences about the dawning days of Radiohead, and Ejimiwe has some really great reminiscences about the dawning days of Ghostpoet, and they talk about music theory vs. intuition, collaboration, self-doubt, the dangers and benefits of reading your own press, and much more. Although they make very different kinds of music, by the end, Selway declares, "We've got similarly wired brains."

End Song

An apocalyptic epic packed with dramatic strings, catchy guitar lines and melodic vocals. Think Hans Zimmer meets Interpol in this critique of modern living and the human condition.

Let's Take a Ride

This release sees us combine guitar and dark synths to deliver a brooding alternative rock cover of Olive’s 90’s dance classic. Having been a popular staple in our live set since we formed we decided to release it as a studio single. Enjoy!

You're Not Alone

Having personally witnessed firsthand a tragic incident on the London Underground, this song acted as a kind of catharsis. The song expands the occurrence into a fictional narrative around the central protagonist. An ode to the fragility of human life and the importance of leading our best lives despite the cards we're often dealt.

Reset

Sirens

Our forthcoming EP 'Reset' is out Now!

Plucking from a wealth of genres and pop culture references, HYMNS make epic and ethereal rock songs that exist to enlighten and energise all who bear witness. With thick Baritone vocals and rousing choral hooks, their music is appropriately bittersweet. 

Whereas the infectious guitars and driving bass lines of their debut London EP documented the inherent solitude of inner city living, the band have since been looking outwards, obliged to think bigger about the sinister direction of today’s global politics. Woven from stories of personal experience, the band’s unapologetic honesty supports the weight of their music’s sturdy foundations.  

Their new 4 track EP release, Reset sees the band delve deeper into their signature atmospheric sound, broadening the musical palette with elements reminiscent of Ennio Morricone's Spaghetti Western soundtracks and Black Sabbath's heavy guitar riffage. Mainstay favourites of the band, Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, and Depeche Mode also creep into their musical melting pot.
