Humour ruminate on the inevitability of death with new track, "Memorial"

The new single, "Memorial" finds vocalist Andreas Christodoulidis on the beach at Troy, using poet Alice Oswald’s titular reinterpretation of Homer’s Iliad to find a new context through which to understand the way death’s inevitability can sit on our chest. “Oswald describes the Iliad as a catalogue of death,” he reflects. “It’s a step by step description of all these people being slaughtered, but it’s described in an incredibly beautiful way.”

Christoloudis had the following to say about the themes behind their new single: "Memorial describes a scene from the Iliad in which Andromache must say goodbye to her husband Hector the night before he’s killed in battle. The main theme of the song is imminent disaster and trying to remain stoic in the face of it."

Alongside the album announcement, Humour have detailed their most extensive UK headline tour yet for November in support of Learning Greek, which follows EPs from the band – 2022's Pure Misery and 2023's A Small Crowd Gathered To Watch Me.
