The cold months of Bostons chill, layering on sweaters and jackets can only keep you so warm. The warmth of a nice studio, adding layers of instruments and producing music that warms you on the inside can be just as much of a necessity to make it through those freezing times. That's just what the members of Humaana had in mind when forming as a studio project in the Fall of 2009. It was also way to keep the members of Humaanas' sanity during Bostons Winter months.



Bassist Aaron Bernard and drummer Tim Manning had been playing music together for years in their previous band Late Nite Wars and had recorded all of their releases at Format Audio by engineer Ryan Stack. After establishing a friendship with Ryan, Humaana was formed with a goal to write and record as much material as possible without any genre constraints.



Bands like Karate, The Police, Phoenix and The Kinks have laid the maps in front of Humaana as guidance for thier sound. Humaana serves as an outlet for it's members to play music closer to those influences while taking a new path to explore themselves.
