Dumb Things are five friends who have been making guitar pop in Meanjin/Brisbane since 2017. They recently shared “Instant Coffee”, the second single taken from their upcoming third album, Self Help.
“Instant Coffee” captivates with an enchanting atmosphere and a 90s dreamy jangle pop quality with a strong emotive presence felt throughout the guitar work and enchanting vocals.
Speaking further on the track, the band adds:
The daily ritual of turning on the kettle becomes a motif of isolation and compromised happiness, the beautifully inquisitive and soulful vocal delivery bringing the feels even as the guitars build towards the quietly epic crescendo.
