Los Angeles band Dummy employ pummeling guitars and celestial ambience within the same breath, folding a myriad of reference points into their drone-pop style. Influence from '60s melodicism and '90s UK noise pop can be found woven-in with inspiration from spiritual jazz, Japanese new age, and Italian minimalism. After releasing two cassette EP’s in 2020 (on Popwig and Born Yesterday respectively), Dummy’s debut full-length album arrives via Chicago’s Trouble in Mind Records on October 22nd, 2021.

Den Dala presents their brand new single 'Mint', the eponymous track to their forthcoming EP.  The Swiss band, led by Andrin Stettler, released their debut album in 2022 with French label Nice Guys, which earned them a real following on the indie scene and several hundred million streams across platforms. ‘Mint' is an instrumental track with a strong backbeat melting organic sounds with a wha-wha guitar and synth melodies, making it a sonically rich track ideal for lovers of 80s psychedelic rock.

There was only one road back to LA: US Interstate 15. Just a flat-out high speed burn through Baker and Barstow and Berdoo. Then onto the Hollywood Freeway, and straight on into frantic oblivion. Safety. Obscurity. Just another freak, in the freak kingdom.

---
Waking up late 
Saturday morning so it’s slow
Coffee and croissant, and water
Breakfast in the lobby
I run in the rain 
Late for the Archeological Park 
The wind takes me away
And as the sea floods the harbour

I climb to the top of the hill
From here I see the Thyrrenian Sea
The waves crash on the rocks
And down there Vulcano smokes
It's May in the Aeolian Islands
But it feels like Christmastime again
My dear

Locked in my hotel
Boats can’t come out, the sea is rough
I just moved my flight
I’ll probably have to do it again
Back home is endangered
Hope all my friends are doing alright
So I write this song
Lying on this bed
Wasting this afternoon
While my thoughts keep

Mumbling, and the Acropolis 
Overlooks the city of Lipari
The waves crash on the rocks 
And down there Vulcano smokes
It's May in the Aeolian Islands
But it feels like Christmastime again
My dear

Mumbling and the Acropolis

Lyrics:
You say you might die if you don't leave LA
You know, I think you're not the first one to say that
But I like how you said, in those tomes you texted,
"The city is a diaspora onto itself." 
Kira, I won't say cheer up,
but you're all I see, even in your black on black. 

Climb down the jacaranda, no matter what they tell you. 
Don't entertain em, that's the danger. 
"So what?" 
So why pretend to love the sun? 

Don't totally know what you mean, but I caught your drift—
why don't we run away the day we turn 18? 
Kira, I won't say cheer up, 
but I've got a plan, I could tell it to you step by step. 
(chorus)
