This morning, LA quartet Dummy—Alex Ewell, Emma Maatman, Nathan O’Dell and Joe Trainor—have announced their sophomore LP,, which is set to release on September 6 via Trouble in Mind Records. One of the brightest guitar pop and ambient acts around, Dummy made waves with their debut full-length. They snagged slots on tours with bands like Horsegirl, Black Country, New Road, Spirit of the Beehive, Dehd and others, and Sub Pop even brought the band in as a part of the label’s ongoing Singles Club.
Maatman’s vocals are plush, while O’Dell’s guitar lead features a big riff piercing through bubbly synthesizers that swell and pop on a loop. “Nullspace” is physical and blissful, signaling that Dummy will always be on the move and always searching for the next chorus, hook or soundscape they can conquer.Wed.
