The songs on HMPH! are more sprawling than on 2015’s Headrush, with lots of detours and left turns along the way. This album also features heavy bass lines provided by Kitten Adventure Boggs, a significant addition since their first record. HMPH! play a Record Release Party on Friday, November 1, 2019 at 8:00 PM, at Farewell Transmission, 6515 Stadium Drive, KCMO, with Shiny Jets, Jorge Arana Trio, and Dan Ohm.
