What’s in a name? Or more precisely, a group name? A lot, according to Human Noise guitarist-singer Eddie Boyd. This is why he decided to rebrand his indie-rock quartet from Sydney, after they were previously known as Boydos. “It didn’t sound like a band name, it was like a solo artist name,” Boyd said. “I wanted it to be more of a band than a solo act. I didn’t like that it was kind of my last name and it didn’t sound imaginative. It was rushed.” After forming in 2017 initially as Boyd’s solo project, Boydos released his debut album It’s Alright, Look At Me I’m Young in 2019. But by the time of the album’s release, Boydos had already transformed into Human Noise and s ‘was in Lyttelton, New Zealand. – the hometown of Marlon Williams and Aldous Harding. At Lyttelton’s The Sitting Rooms, Human Noise recorded tracks with producer Ben Edwards, whom Boyd had known since playing guitar for indie-folk singer-songwriter Julia Jacklin from the Blue Mountains, on his superb 2016 debut album, Don’t Let The Kids Win. Almost three years later, these tracks will be released on Friday on Human Noise’s new album, Animal People. “I actually feel really good about the songs, which is a lot different from the last album we did,” Boyd said. “The same thing happened the last time, we released the songs a few years after we recorded them and by the time we released them, I was beside themselves with them. With this batch of songs, I really feel well with them and more confident in their quality. ”While Animal People was written by Boyd, the album is a much more cohesive group project than Boydos and the songs benefit greatly from the increased involvement of Monty Richmond (guitar ), Josh Spolc (bass) and Clayton Allen (drums). Boyd cites Lou Reed, Wilco, The Strokes, and Radiohead among his main influences on Animal People’s writing, and you can certainly hear him. How Is It You Do That carries a frenetic post-punk energy, the latest single One Time would delight fans of Wilco’s period Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and Hard To Know winds with that fragile intensity for which Reed was renowned. Grief and the negative thoughts that ensue are the main lyrical theme of Animal People as Boyd eloquently sings “I Got Dark in a Colorful Shirt” on the opening of the colorful shirt. “Because the songs weren’t very specific to that relationship, but about the feelings, I don’t feel distant from those feelings,” he says. “Maybe you’d think I’ve come this far in this relationship, so they don’t mean as much, but because they cover a wider range of topics, I still feel very close to them.” Animal People from Human Noise is now available. They begin their album tour at Stag & Hunter Hotel on November 5th with support from Slow Cinema and BoysnLove.
