DUMB BLOOD (Deluxe Edition)
There’s a chest-beating, uncorked wildness to this London-based quartet’s debut—a full-bore approach you can hear amid the mountainous, grungy riffs of “PARKING LOT.” But don’t for one second mistake frontman Mattie Vant’s elemental approach for anything like disposability. Whether imagining extraterrestrial disdain on “FLY-BY ALIEN”, unleashing urgent anti-war sentiment with “THE ANSWER” or conjuring a disaffected generational anthem with “I DON\'T BELIEVE IN GOD,” *DUMB BLOOD* is politically engaged, righteously furious and, yes, anything but dumb.
Dumb Blood' by Vant, album review by Adam Williams. The full-length is now out on Parlophone Records.
