FREE ENERGY

Description

Dummy is a rock band from Los Angeles comprised of Alex Ewell, Emma Maatman, Nathan O'Dell, and Joe Trainor. 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.
