Quantum Leap

New Dumbo Gets Mad Album Out Now


DIGITAL OUT NOW
STREAM

Italian psych outfit Dumbo Gets Mad releases their much anticipated sophomore LP Quantum Leap on Rome-based Bad Panda Records streaming in full on Impose. As the title implies the album covers immense sonic ground, showcasing a vibrant spectrum of seriously irresistible psychedelic pop.


Recorded between Los Angeles and a basement studio in Italy, the record was mixed and produced by the band and mastered in LA by the very talented Kelly Hibbert (Aloe Blanc, Flying Lotus, J Dilla) atElysian Masters. The 13-track LP includes a handful of fantastic singles like “Radical Leap” and Azealia Banks re-imagination ”Tahiti Hungry Jungle” which are still available for stream and embed below:

“Radical Leap” || “Bam Bam” || “South Africa (Crystal Ball on a Roll)” || “Tahiti Hungry Jungle” ||“American Day”

 

The project’s 2011debut Elephants at the Door (Bad Panda Records) garnered international attention for its fresh take on eclectic psych pop with an experimental lean (you can still stream it HERE). Now with the mind-blowing follow-up out in its entirety, it’s clear that Dumbo Gets Mad has simply done it again.

Samsara

Imagine a movie where the nature world meets the human’s and tricks your eyes in a mixture of colors, expressions and movements to the point where your head is so full of thoughts that you can’t find a way to express them. Your brain is on fire and when the last image disappear and the sound of the music fades you realize that you’ve never left the room and that there’s people around you and that you have to leave the place.You have been touched deeply by reality but in a way you’ve never known of. Your mind has tripped to the most remotes places of the world and has seen the common society through widely different angles, but the fact that there’s no fiction in this movie really makes you wonder !

ps  : you don’t wanna miss Baraka (it if you haven’t already seen it) from the same director Ron Fricke

pps: the guy at the ticket office told us that it’ll be a better vision if your mind is a little tipsy ;-)

 

VENICE BEACH EXPERIENCE

                                                                   
ALL THE LEGENDS ABOUT VENICE BEACH ARE TRUE.
IT’S THE ONLY PLACE I’VE BEEN TO,
WHERE THE IDEA THAT I HAD

OF THE PLACE,ACTUALLY MATCHED THE REALITY.

FROM THE KINDNESS TO THE SMELL,

FROM THE FREAKS TO THE FAT.

FROM THE HOMLESSES TO THE WEED..

FROM THE CRACK TO THE STARS!

FROM THE TILES TO THE WHEELS,

FROM NO MAN’S LAND TO THE PIER,….

FROM THE OSPICE TO MUSCLE BEACH….

FROM THE SOFT GROUND TO THE CRICKET FIELD.

WE PLAYED THERE ON THURSDAY NIGHT AND

I CAN SAY THAT I HAD NEVER EXPERIENCED

SUCH EMPATHY WITH THE AUDIENCE AND IT FELT

LIKE EVERYTHING WAS IN ITS RIGHT PLACE …
