Picture a Hum, Can't Hear a Sound

Picture a Hum Can't Hear a Sound is the debut album by Australian rock band 78 Saab, released in 2000.

Recording of the album followed their collaboration with Powderfinger producer Tim Whitten for the single "Sunshine", which won heavy rotation on the Triple J radio network.

Indie guitar producer Greg Wales was called in to record their debut album, which songwriter Ben Nash described as a mixed tapestry of rural and urban imagery.

"[2] The Age described the album as "the type of melodic, guitar-based pop that commercial radio programmers just don't want to know about" and praised the inclusion of "Sunshine" which it described as an "ethereal chunk of psychedelia".

It said: "Producer Greg Wales, best known for his work with Melbourne's Snout, gives it all a healthy sonic sheen, preserving the band's full throttle approach while enhancing the material's melodic strengths.
