All the tracks were originally self-released as demo tapes in a very limited run. Their first work, Coming Home, was published in 1983, and the second one, Too Many Lies, in 1984. Both of them were distributed by the band themselves. Shortly after, they released a more widely known 12” EP, Tired (Nova Express, 1984), with a different line-up and noticeably more rock-oriented.

Definers of a totally genuine sound, Hymn were coevals to the underground-synth-post-punk movement that surfaced in France in the early Eighties, easily recognisable today via cult labels such as Bain Total and Invisible/Scopa Records, with stunning releases by experimental references like Ilitch, Philippe Doray or Incontinents.
