Humour: Glasgow Post-Punk Outfit Reflects on Loss in "Memorial"

Humour is an intriguing post-punk band hailing from Glasgow, Scotland. They have quickly garnered attention for their distinctive sound, which blends the raw, angular energy of post-punk with a unique lyrical approach. The band is comprised of Andreas Christodoulidis (vocals), Ross Patrizio (guitar), Jack Blincow (guitar), Lewis Dootson (bass), and Kyle Brown (drums). Humour's music often features intense instrumental sections, sudden shifts in dynamics, and a vocal delivery that can range from spoken-word to impassioned cries. They've been praised for their ability to balance vulnerability with a disarming strangeness in their songwriting.

The song "Memorial" is a recent single from Humour, released on May 22, 2025. It's a poignant and powerful track that explores themes of loss and remembrance. The lyrics were written by vocalist Andreas Christodoulidis following the passing of his grandmother, offering a deeply personal reflection on grief and the way we commemorate those we've lost.

Musically, "Memorial" is described as opening with a sombre and tender tone, building slowly with a subtle organ melody before escalating into a more intense and raw expression. This dynamic shift mirrors the emotional journey of processing loss, moving from quiet reflection to a more visceral outpouring of feeling. The track is indicative of Humour's ability to tackle profound emotional subjects with a raw, yet carefully crafted, sound that resonates with listeners.
