Dummy - N of 1

Dummy by Kyle Berger

Los Angeles-based outfit Dummy (Alex Ewell, Emma Maatman, Nathan O’Dell, Joe Trainor, and Lance Umble) have this week shared N of 1, the final single/video from their new album, do you love the color of the sky?, out Friday via Polyvinyl. "I liked the idea of taking glacial guitar drones and cutting ‘em up into a new context of the jungle inspired drums,” says Trainor of the new single. “To me, so much of the record is like the remixed versions of pop songs you'll never hear." Maatman adds, “‘N of 1’ is a plea to both the proprietors and the more complacent subjects of the ever-encroaching surveillance state. Typically our videos aren’t so direct of a visual representation of the meaning of the song, but I had just gotten it into my head that the zooming action on Street View would go perfectly with the meter and energy of the song, and the rest sort of fell into place after that." Take a listen for yourselves below.
