The HU have announced their new album, Hun, set for release on 24 July through Better Noise Music.
The record will be the Mongolian group’s third full-length album and follows their continued work around what they describe as “hunnu rock”, a sound built from rock instrumentation, Mongolian traditional instruments and throat singing.
Alongside the album announcement, The HU have released a new single, “Lost Soul”, featuring Jonny Hawkins of Nothing More. Speaking about the song, Galaa says: “We have been unpacking our surprises one by one. Hunnu rock transcends through culture and in that respect, we have made ‘Lost Soul’ with Jonny Hawkins. To be not lost on your life journey, not losing your values, and go through life and having a courage to face the life obstacles are messages we are sending our fans through this song ‘Lost Soul’ and in our next album, ‘Hun’.”
Hawkins adds: “I am so excited to team up with a band as committed to their craft as The HU. It’s unlike anything I’ve done before.”
Hun features 11 tracks, with songs drawing from Mongolian lore and legend while keeping the band’s wider rock framework. The digital edition will include the version of “Lost Soul” featuring Jonny Hawkins.
“We took our time to do this right, and we’re so glad that we’re almost ready to release what we have worked on these past few years”, the band says. “Now, we are also focusing on the performances and working out a brand-new setlist. We want to play bigger venues so we can do extensive production, and bring in some amazing elements of our culture, and play these ideas to our fans. And, as well as our third album, we have some amazing ideas for another album already!”
