Hello Hum is the fifth album by Canadian indie rock band Wintersleep, released on June 12, 2012.

The band started writing the album during the New Inheritors tour in 2010 and 2011, via "late night voice memo'd bedroom demos, hallucinogenic dreams of Paul Schaeffer".

The group recorded the new songs in the late summer of 2011 with Scottish producer Tony Doogan, who had already produced their last effort New Inheritors, and Dave Fridmann, who had previously worked with such bands as The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev, and MGMT.
