Dummy have announced their new album, do you love the color of the sky?, will arrive on October 16th via Polyvinyl. Today, the Los Angeles band are sharing lead single/video “Full Spectrum Dominance.” The group includes Alex Ewell, Emma Maatman, Nathan O’Dell, Joe Trainor, and Lance Umble,
do you love the color of the sky? is described as Dummy’s most politically trenchant record, and yet their most inviting. “Full Spectrum Dominance,” for example, comments on A.I. and the devaluation of art. Guitarist Joe comments, “ I was trying to make something just heavier, and we joked it was our nu metal song, during the recording we added the tambourine that gives it a more dancey vibe, Deee- Lite meets Deftones.”

Emma adds, “This is the Technofeudalism bop. Tech billionaires are treating AI like the new Alchemy, using it as a source of power and magic. This supposedly soon-to-be all-powerful technology could not exist without harvesting all of humanity’s intellectual property and collective work. ‘Prima Materia’ is the building block of all alchemical matter, so in the canon of the song, we humans are the Prima Materia.”

The accompanying video directed and animated by Matt Wells (POST MAN) is an experimental montage of 3D animation, found imagery, and motion graphics exploring AI as a modern form of alchemy. Wells drew on the fears and frustrations surrounding the rise of A.I. and its hostile attempt to erode the human experience. Aesthetically, the video is inspired by everything from late 90’s UK music videos and cyberpunk films to early CGI demonstration.

Alex continues, “We toured a lot, around 150 days, and played approximately 113 shows,” with numerous treks around the US and two trips to Europe, “…and on larger stages than ever before”. “Touring has had a huge impact on us and our music.” That is a staggering amount of touring and roadtripping, a feat that can only be achieved if you truly believe in your art and the power of music itself.
