Dumb Lovers Release Their Flawless Debut EP ‘For Love or Money’
Bournemouth band Dumb Lovers are without a doubt one of our top choice pop bands by far. With past songs like 'Oscar' and 'Jessie' quickly commanding attention with their sleek synth-pop and new wave sexiness, the trio consisting of Meg Rees, Robin Clark and James Gordelier, have released their debut EP 'For Love or Money'. Comprised of three tracks, the record finds the outfit beefing up their sound, adding finer layers of musical sophistication that rings with a majestic swing of giants like Siouxsie and the Banshees, as well as Cocteau Twins whilst clearly branding their own imprint. Blending dashes of post-punk into the mix, their chic musical backdrop is the perfect palette for Rees' seductive and ear-grabbing vocals. Indeed the EP is an addictive treat and like a potent drug, 'For Love or Money' simply has us craving more from Dumb Lovers.
ColoRising Interview with CC Honeymoon
If the music of his previous band Virgin Kids represented a sonic explosion of youthful urgency pushed by fiery punk and garage rock, as a solo artist CC Honeymoon's current sound is an introspective journey examining love, lust and more, powered by seducing pop, electro and new wave rhythms that are hypnotically gripping. Having released his lush debut single 'Part Time View' actually under the moniker of CC Honeymoon a couple months back, his follow-up track 'In The Night' is a hedonistic and passionate voyage into the experience of the physical connections between two. What could be the soundtrack of a dark, exclusive club full of erotic activities or just a room in a flat where two bodies meet, the song is a pleasurable trek through image-provoking sound. In a way, CC Honeymoon reflects the idea of liberation - a freedom to organically create, a freedom to be that of the most organic and pure. Only just the beginning of this musical travel as a solo act, we're all up for taking the ride.
