727) Alpine - Dumb

If you're familiar with Australian indie music, you've probably heard of this band. Once fronted by two vocalists, the amazing Lou James and Phoebe Baker, they have released funky, well-received bops like "Hands", "Gasoline", and "Damn Baby" throughout the span of six years. In 2019, after a four-year hiatus, the group announced the release of the upbeat, joyful single "Dumb" as well as James' departure. Though the pair's harmonies will definitely be missed and their lack is felt in the newer tune, the now five-piece band managed to preserve their fun, bubbly sound and their signature writing style. Alpine, who are known for tackling serious subjects with a lighthearted, cheeky attitude, give us a perfect example of that with "Dumb". Baker told The Line Of Best Fit the lyrics were about "how we can encourage our romantic imagination to a point of ignorance. Hopeless optimism on a ship of sinking love". All that is enveloped in a luscious, summery, disco-infused instrumental track. An adorable music video sees Baker as a dog walker being pulled around by her animal companions (rather than her controlling them) as a clever allegory to how love can be sometimes.
