Hubris

Hubris is a Swiss post-rock band from Fribourg, formed in 2014. This instrumental group is known for their unique style that blends experimental post-rock, electronica, and elements from the progressive and metal scenes.

They draw inspiration from artists such as Woodkid, Jon Hopkins, and The Contortionist. Their music evokes introspection and is characterized by lengthy compositions that convey a range of evolving emotions, balancing softness and power.

Often compared to artists like Sigur Rós and Long Distance Calling, Hubris creates a heterogeneous musical landscape that mixes poetic ambiance with raw energy.

To date, they have released four albums:

• Emersion (2015)
• Apocryphal Gravity (2017)
• Metempsychosis (2020) - awarded the best post-rock album of 2020 by the independent music YouTube channel Wherepostrockdwells
• The One Above (2023)

Following the release of their second album, the band gained relative popularity due to a significant shift in their musical approach and composition methods. They explore a musical style that challenges traditional post-rock conventions by incorporating electronica and progressive rock-metal influences. Their critically acclaimed music has attracted millions of listeners online and has been featured in numerous press articles.
