* PREORDER * DUMBELLS - Up Late With LP

* PREORDER * expected to arrive early July

Highly recommended.

"On one hand, a child, or even a PAVEMENT fan could immediately be wooed by the immediacy of the hooks, melodies and charismatic group dynamic expertly, but not too expertly, captured here. On the other hand, cold hearted cynics will have their record collector cockles warmed by a feeling akin to discovering BIG STAR’s Radio City or THOMAS JEFFERSON SLAVE APARTMENT’s Bait And Switch.

Dumbells cross examine the classic / independent rock dialectic in a manner that’s musically informed, but more importantly intuitive. They aren’t in reaction to, or embracement of, any micro-trend but embrace the big picture of being in a humble rock band; Dumbells do shit with their guitars, bass, drums and voices that we all know feel good, natural and exciting, but maybe in a world rife with self consciousness and cynicism, often get lost in the sauce." - Nic Warnock
