Dummy sign to Polyvinyl and announce new album, do you love the color of the sky?

The album follows 2024's Free Energy and the following remix collection Bubbelibrium DLC, with the quintet describing it as their “anti-zeitgeist” album. Where Free Energy leans into the spirit of the Madchester and rave culture, do you love the color of the sky? refers to post-rock and drone, with some pop inspiration from the likes of early Björk, The Sundays and Madonna's Ray of Light.

Lead single "Full Spectrum Dominance" comments on AI and the devaluation of art. As guitarist Joe Trainor says: "I was trying to make something just heavier, and we joked it was our nu metal song, during the recording we added the tambourine that gives it a more dancey vibe, Deee-Lite meets Deftones."

Keyboardist Emma adds: "This is the Technofeudalism bop. Tech billionaires are treating AI like the new Alchemy, using it as a source of power and magic. This supposedly soon-to-be all-powerful technology could not exist without harvesting all of humanity's intellectual property and collective work."

The accompanying video, directed by Matt Wells (POST MAN), is an experimental montage of 3D animation, found imagery and motion graphics exploring AI as a modern form of alchemy.

Since the release of Free Energy, Dummy have been touring extensively, with around 113 shows that have included stints in the United States and two trips to Europe. "Touring has had a huge impact on us and our music," notes drummer Alex Ewell. The band are set to hit the road again this autumn for another run of US shows, beginning on 13 October in Fresno, California.
