Formally known as Jet Pack Dog with one EP, Alternate your Dog (2020), behind them, Bethan Lloyd and Issac Ray were reborn as Pre-Human in March 2023.
Since that rebirth, the duo have hit the ground running playing Focus Wales Festival in May and Glastonbury Festival in June.
Their debut single, “Hunger”, perfectly embodies the essence of Pre-Human‘s self-described otherworldly vocals, overdriven bass lines, and hybrid organismic beats, evoking sounds from the realm of the unknown.
In their quest to create enchanting music, Pre-Human’s own hunger and desire drive their artistic journey, and “Hunger” truly exemplifies this magic with its captivating sound, beats, and vocals.
If you are familiar with Bethan’s amazing album Metamorphosis, she brings her transcending and ethereal vocals to Pre-Human not as a solo artist but as a collective and collaborative partner to Isaac’s mastery of beats and sound.
Sonically rich and steeped in duality, “Hunger” prompts the questions of whether hunger signifies the need for sustenance or the desire to satisfy a craving. Perhaps it embodies both, intertwining as one instead of opposing forces. The duality extends beyond the lyrics, as Pre-Human exquisitely weaves Bethan’s voice with Isaac’s bass and beats, creating a journey that seamlessly combines a transcendental spiritual experience with an irresistible dance floor trance.
