Dummy (the band) - genuinely interesting

No thread on the band Dummy - LA band with great boy/girl vocals and a penchant for channeling Stereolab, MBV, Cocteaus and other shoegazers into something different. 2nd LP, "Free Energy", just came out and it's one of my favorite things this year.

enjoyed their debut a lot, great MBV/stereolab/broadcast pastiche, just about the best stuff you could steal. have to add that i had to unfollow whoever runs their twitter account because they were super annoying

haven't listened to this, have been meaning to. thanks for the reminder

Free Energy is excellent. They tick all the ‘90s boxes I like (Stereolab, YLT, Luna). I’ll take this over that Lenderman fella that everyone is trying to annoint.

not even close

and i like Dummy fine

cool record collections
comatose live, tho

this album is really lovely, nails the sounds it's going for

New album is one of my faves of the year. I love the synthesis of their influences along with some interesting ideas. It's a great ride, and the interstitial instrumentals are key.

I like the album, but alpine static OTM

I don't know if it's quite AOTY tier for me, but I do enjoy this record a lot. "Blue Dada" is so good.

Also, this band gets +10 ILM Points for having a song called "Opaline Bubbletear": both a perfect fake Stereolab song title and an Elden Ring reference

lol @ album cover

New interview with the band. Elden Ring apparently a heavy influence
