A.Human hail from the Dalston area of London. They tell stories about love, the damned, the strange and everything in-between. Vintage keyboards punctuate soaring triggered samples while rolling drums form an epic backdrop to wry and amusing lyrics. They draw influence from the disco soul of DFA and thoughtful dance music of New Order through to the art school originality of Talking Heads and lo-fi electronica of Arthur Russell. Their universally highly praised live performances are as chaotic and unpredictable as they are refreshingly thrilling and engaging.

Debut album ‘Third Hand Prophecy’ released in the summer of 2008, was heralded a masterpiece by the British Media. They confirmed and strengthened their reputation with appearances at the summers most high profile festivals including Glastonbury and Lovebox, tours with the likes of Metronomy, Shy Child and Art Brut, and a residency at Ibiza’s infamous Ibiza Rocks. Equipped with a ground breaking show and setting the benchmark for live acts. A.Human were included in the years round up of ‘6 Albums You Should Download’ alongside MGMT, Kings of Leon and MIA in Sunday Times Style, and number four in the ‘Top 10 Albums of the Year’ in the Independent. Having collaborated with James Yuill, Manumission and The Hayward Gallery, championed by the likes of Paul Smith and Andrew W.K, A.Human proved they are as diverse as they are prolific. 

Having started their career as a six piece, early 2009 saw three members leave to pursue personal projects. Throughout that year the remaining three experimented with various different line-ups but nothing seemed to click.
