Self Help, the third album from Brisbane indie-pop five-piece Dumb Things, builds superbly on their jangly vibe and consolidates them as current proponents of the fabled ‘that striped sunlight sound’.
“On this third outing, Self Help, the five-piece continue down that sun-dappled pathway, but there’s a notable deepening of ideas and a warmth that shows how far they’ve come. They exude a confidence born of testing and refining their craft while keeping their easygoing, Queensland vibe intact…
Comparisons to The Go-Betweens are inevitable, given their shared Brisbane heritage and preference for jangling guitars, but Dumb Things also tap into broader Aussie, and other indie influences. Fans of Melbourne’s Dick Diver or The Ocean Party will enjoy the bright chord progressions, while those drawn to the wistful swoon of Lush will appreciate the dreamier threads woven through Madeleine Keinonen’s vocals”
