Listen :: Dumb - Club Nites

Words: Sam Geary 

Vancouver indie punks Dumb have a follow up to last year's debut album 'Seeing Green' on the horizon. But before 'Club Nites' arrives on June 7 via Mint Records, there's the title track to savour.

The edgy, disjointed track thst has traces of Parquet Courts about it, is tangibly filled with angular riffs as it discourses lyrically on social anxieties.

"Social interaction often gets institutionalised by the club, and this song breaks down some of the anxieties and joys of being at the club/ thinking about the club, but as if we are at the club whenever we are in public," the art punk foursome's lead singer Franco Rosino states. "At the club at night-time, we are permitted to loosen our language and become uninhibited, we do what we want rather than what we are required to. A light is shed on previously hidden motives, and our daytime secrets become revealed embarrassingly."
