Biography

Sharing their name with a 1982 comedy starring Neil Young, the Ontario, Canada-based indie pop duo Human Highway formed in the early 2000s. Comprised of Nick Thorburn (frontman for the eclectic indie pop group Islands) and Jim Guthrie (formerly of Islands and Royal City), Human Highway released their debut long-player, Moody Motorcycle, in 2008.

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This duo presents a sound reminiscent of 50s/60s soul and doo-wop (i.e., The Everly Brothers). Human Highway came about while Jim Guthrie and Nick Thorburn (Islands, ex-Unicorns) were on tour with Islands. Vinyl comes with a coupon for a free digital download.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice album, October 29, 2008
I always hate giving reviews after listening to an album after only two days, but this is so very easy to like. I just wonder if I'm going to be listening to this a month from now? It just goes down so smooth, and easy, and is very pleasant, that I'm not sure that it's going to stick around for me or not. The albums that I constantly listen to are ones that usually unfold slowly for me, but there's some really nice songs on this album and it's consistent throughout, so I'd def recommend it !

Simon and Garfunkle, meets Iron & Wine, meets the Postal Service, if that makes any sense at all?

5.0 out of 5 stars Retro-Folk Is Not a Good Enough Description, May 11, 2009
This review is from: Moody Motorcycle (MP3 Download)
I checked out this album first because of the cover art. It was simply too funny to let go. The first few songs were exactly what one might expect--very Sixties harmonies and rhythms--but the rest of the album reveals some real gems. Not only do these fellows have an excellent feel for retro-folk, not only have they nailed that Sxities sound, but they have an excellent sense of wit AND they are very accomplished musicians. The arrangements are surprisingly lush: The use of key instrumentation is used very effectively and, unsurprisingly, very subtly. The lyrics seem jaunty and blithe but are actually sharply poignant when not absurdly clever. One could easily listen to this album in the background with nary a thought but of pleasant tunes, but listening more closely reveals exceptional attention to sonic detail. Furthermore, musicianship is very high. I do not know which instruments are being played by whom, but it is all quite good.

I write very few reviews because, as a musician and avid music lover, few efforts truly stand out. Human Highway impresses me somewhat as a retro-modern XTC: They are gifted musicians with a solid understanding of idiom and, more important, a wicked good sense of humor. And the cover art is hilarious.
