Edit history

Two years after their debut self-titled album, Brisbane band Dumb Things return with the first taste of their sophomore album, Time Again. ‘Today Tonight’ polishes the sunburnt pop patented on their debut to a sheen, but leaves the edges on. The luminous guitars swirl around one another, underpinned by lyrics that cast a simultaneously romantic and cynical eye on the work, tv, sleep, repeat cycle. It follows the album’s equally catchy first single Crash Barrier which dropped in late-2018 to great acclaim, with respected NYC blog Cereal & Sounds offering: “Brisk undercurrents set by agile percussions make a pillowy bed for the luminous guitars that sporadically interject. Featuring less twang and more breeze, the track emphasises on the nostalgia summoned by unlikely inspirations.”
