Having found fame as the singer on the seminal Air album “Moon Safari” Beth Hirsch went on to record two albums on Studio!K7 with “Early Days” and “Titles & Idols” prior to her recent self release “Wholehearted” which attained great reviews in her native USA.

Having worked with the Ho Hum team on the album “Titles & Idols” it was a priority when starting the company that a production with Beth ensued and ‘Something to Tell’ was the first piece the label started working on. Featuring guitars by Alex Pilkington and a string arrangement by Caroline Daniel, “Something to Tell” revisits the cool of Air’s “All I Need” but with a folkier arm.

Having heard The Willow’s “So Many Things” Beth declared her love for the track, and Ho Hum’s The Willow was only too happy to re-work the song as a duet with Beth, recording the track in both LA and London and featuring Mark Tucker on piano. Again full of emotional energy this beautiful acoustic slice.

Recent collaborations have seen Beth grace releases from Jakatta, Gelka and D*Note and she continues to play live in LA, Paris and London.

A decade ago, following sales of over a million for both “K” and “Pigs and Astronaughts” Crispian Mills sought out a new challenge and a break from Kula Shaker. With good advice, Mills hired the services of Mark Pritchard (Harmonic 313, Troubleman, Global Communications and many more) and David Brinkworth (Harmonic 33, Farout Recordings) and set off to make a solo album recording in both Cornwall and on David Gilmour’s house-boat studio in London.

Alas the album never got released, and almost 10 years later Ho Hum Records have unearthed two gems from the period in “Healing Hands” and “Be Merciful” available at long last on both 7” and digital download formats.

Crispian Mills, now lives in the Bath area and over the past few years has released two further Kula Shaker studio albums to great acclaim.
