the dumb earth

The Dumb Earth, Melbourne’s exponents of moody, cinematic jazz-inflected style, released of their long-awaited second album, "Blessings In Disguise" in September 2001.

Since relocating to Melbourne from Adelaide in 1995, The Dumb Earth have released a debut album, "Walk The Earth" (1997), and a CD EP, "Auld Lanxiety Attack" (1999), as well as contributing tracks to compilation albums such as the Burt Bacharach/Hal David tribute, "To Hal & Bacharach". Their music has been used in TV programmes including "Love Is A Four Letter Word" (on which the band also appeared) and "Good Guys, Bad Guys".

Their latest work comprises 12 songs that mark a shift in The Dumb Earth’s distinctive sound, showing their brooding sound-scapes and twisted roots style spreading in more eclectic directions. "Blessings In Disguise" is also the band’s first totally independent release, on their own label Hour Of Need, and is distributed on CD in Australia by MGM.
