Dummy is a rock band from Los Angeles comprised of Alex Ewell, Emma Maatman, Nathan O’Dell, Joe Trainor, and Lance Umble. Their debut full-length Mandatory Enjoyment (Trouble in Mind) arrived in late 2021, becoming one of the year’s sleeper hits and garnering praise from Pitchfork, Stereogum, and more. Their exhilarating follow-up album, Free Energy, was released in 2024 and led to further critical acclaim and more touring through the US and Europe. Free Energy is a record that celebrates music’s ability to move the body, whether that be through a teeth-rattling wall of MBV-esque noise, a sticky pop chorus, or a joyous drum machine—or, if you’re Dummy, maybe all of them in the same song. On the band's third album, do you love the color of the sky?, Dummy deliver a breathtaking piece of work that introduces new textures and rhythms to their already varied and refined catalog. The group split time between self-recording at their home studio as well as Studio 22, linking up with frequent collaborator and engineer Joo-Joo Ashworth (Corridor, Automatic, Spiral XP) while focusing on intentionality and experimentation, exploring downtempo dance beats and electronic music & pushing the guitar as far as they could, using new self-sampling and processing techniques. The result is Dummy’s most ethereal and sincere record to date, with more feminine and delicate undertones that sit beautifully alongside the gritty and noisy textures the band has become known for.
