Every Sunday, we turn the spotlight on some great creatives. This week, we have The Human Beings!
The Human Beings are a three-piece spacey funk-folk-blues band from NEPA who are all about getting the people dancing and bringing vibes of light.
What started as a solo project by guitarist David Uffner expanded when he moved to Pennsylvania in November 2018. There, he connected with pianist Josh Slosky and drummer Matt Simoncavage in the hopes of forming a band. David had written a twelve-song album with a diverse range of musical styles based on a Buddhist concept called the Ten Worlds, and the trio set up in Josh’s garage learning the songs over the course of the following year.
After playing a few shows and beginning to grow a local fanbase, the band decided it was time to take the next step and make a studio album. However, one week before they were scheduled to begin recording, the COVID pandemic hit and they were forced to cancel. So, after waiting a few months, they set out to record the tracks themselves and sent them to their good friend, Vito Carella, who mixed and mastered their vision into a finished product.
Says the band, “We embarked on this project to explore the essence of being human, to evoke a fresh voice, and to merge the joy of music with a desire for inner-transformation. If nothing else, we hope it slaps.”
The album, In the Ten Worlds, is currently being released in three parts on all streaming platforms.
Ahead of the release, The Human Beings shot a series of six promotional live performance videos. The first three showcase the powerful, electric side of the band, while the others feature a more intimate, acoustic setting. Filmed and edited by Sam O’Connell and Alex Manganella, you can find the videos on YouTube. To accompany the videos, two EPs, Live and Acoustic, have been released for streaming.
The Human Beings are currently hard at work promoting their debut album and actively seeking gigs. They have also begun writing new songs for their second album. You can find them on Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, and on their website.
