Humour announced new EP A Small Crowd Gathered To Watch Me and sharing new single ‘Big Money’, a song that further introduces their latest project’s influences of historical stories from across the world. ‘Big Money’ doubles down on the band’s acute and insightful approach, marrying keenly original concepts to music of equal ambition.

Lead singer Andreas Christodoulidis had the following to say about ‘Big Money’.

“Big Money was inspired by a story I read about this Peruvian guy called Carlos Fitzcarrald who was a rubber baron in the late 19^th Century. He desperately wanted to get to an area of the Amazon basin that was rich in rubber but inaccessible by boat, which is why it hadn’t yet been claimed during the rubber boom. He exploited a group of indigenous Amazonian people, forcing them under pain of death to drag his steamboat in pieces over the mountain which separated him from the prized area. He was the basis for the character of Fitzcarraldo in the film of the same name by Werner Herzog. There didn’t seem to be much written about this particular story that I could find online, so I was able to be quite liberal when inventing a personality for him. I imagined him being a temperamental character with a lot to prove, prone to violent outbursts and drinking. I wanted to convey a sense of the destruction of the natural world and the traditions of an ancient people that materialised with the introduction of murder and disease to the Amazon by wealth-hungry interlopers.” Enjoy the tune!
