Dumb Things return with the first taste of their sophomore album, Time Again. ‘Today Tonight’ polishes the sunburnt pop patented on their debut to a sheen, whilst retaining the frayed edges. Luminous guitars swirl around one another, underpinned by lyrics that cast a simultaneously romantic and cynical eye on the work, tv, sleep, repeat cycle.

Remember how Bill Murray woke up to I Got You Babe every day in Groundhog Day? If that song would have been Made Of Moods, he at the very least experienced three and a half perfect minutes each day. It’s one of those songs that I enjoy each and every second of, with it’s jangly guitars and hushed vocals that almost have a Beach Boys vibe, especially in the verse. Truly, it’s a song for the ages. But the best news about Still Life is that it offers eleven additional underground pop gems. Niek || Add To Wantlist
Courtney Barnett shared a video of Quivers on Facebook - You're Not Always On My Mind. I thought I bought the tape with this song on it. I believe it is not. Nevertheless, wanted to know more about Quivers and I collect tapes. So, there! Happy as a clam. Arnold
