Dumb Numbers is a brand-spankin' new band featuring a pretty
unbelievable cast...
With his debut album, Australian songwriter Adam Harding has teamed up
with Lou Barlow (Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr., Folk Implosion), Dale Crover
(Melvins), Murph (Dinosaur Jr.), Bobb Bruno (Best Coast), CR Matheny
(Emperor X) and others to create an impressive breadth of material.
Dumb Numbers walks a line between the aggressive and the emotional. In
just 36 minutes the album manages to move from feedback-drenched pop
("Last Night I Had A Dream") to Melvins-leaning rock ("Lost Inside"),
to monastery doom metal ("Without"), to sentimental piano pieces ("The
Broken Promises"), to balls-out guitar shredding ("Redrum"). Such a
wide range of sounds contained on one album would usually result in an
artistic train-wreck, but expert musicianship and an undefinable
cohesion tie these songs together. The result is an unpredictable and
masterful debut album.
