Dummy are dancing on the line between “failure and euphoria”
Los Angeles experimental band Dummy say they pushed themselves to the point of punishment while making their third album, *Do You Love the Color of the Sky?*. The record reflects their long-standing interest in the tension between failure and success, and moves further towards electronic pop while avoiding current musical trends.
Members Joe Trainor and Alex Ewell describe the album as pop in sensibility, though not in a conventional style, and call it an “anti-zeitgeist” record. They say electronic music gave the five-piece more freedom to experiment, while songs such as “N of 1” turn danceable beats into something more abstract. The supplied article text ends mid-sentence, so further album details are unavailable.
