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. "The album came together in its own time," he said. "So many bands rush to get that first album out, then peter off and fall away. We love the idea of the classic album."
