Dumb –” Content jungle” [Tapetown Sessions]
Tapetown Studio’s critically acclaimed Tapetown Sessions are back with a new installment. The series latest shenanigans grabbed Canadian post-punk band Dumb for their latest ‘live in studio’ sessions while the band were guesting Aarhus on tour promoting their 2nd full-length LP: Club Nites. The Vancouver based quartet is seen here running through one of the record’s highlights – “Content Jungle”, an angular indie-punk track with stabby guitars, a danceable heartbeat and witty lyrics that of course betray the band’s chosen name. This cut is practically anything but “dumb”.
Dumb themselves have released two full-length albums and a plethora of E.P.s and singles on the respected Mint Records. The label’s roster includes acts such as Neko Case, The Corn Sisters, Andrew WK and Lou Barlow. Dumb’s prolific blend of Post-punk, classic indie rock and tight songwriting and constant gigging have launched them as one of the most exciting bands in North America currently on the scene. Their Show at Aarhus’ hippest venue, TAPE proved just that. You probably weren’t there – but Tapetown’s session hope to at least get ya close.
Tapetown Sessions have been a platform to grab bands of particular quality. Where other live session formats such as KEXP can seem like sometimes the good acts gets drowned out by the large number of artists performing there, Tapetown picks are more delicate and highlights the wide ‘alternative’ spectrum of music in one of the best ways seen in a long time.
Tapetown is also a fully-functional recording studio that focuses specifically on beating the drum for the authentic, weird, lofi or heavy groups often on the fringe of the scene.
