New Dumbass Album: Robbing Graves
Robbing Graves, the new album “The negative form of the self exercises a loosening power as well as a binding power; at any time it can quite arbitrarily start all over again, and no matter how long one idea is pursued, the entire action is within a hypothesis.” Robbing Graves is the new release […]

Dumbass Album: God’s Garden
God’s Garden is an organic and experimental album that feels like a logical development from the movements of the previous several years of work. This release sees Dumbass recording largely live on many tracks rather than building up songs piece by piece in the studio, mixing elements of noise-rock and post-punk with more (and less) […]

Dumbass Album: Die Mauer
Die Mauer was conceived by the light of a desk lamp late one October night in a hostel that had once been a telephone factory in Berlin after a flash of inspiration at the longest remaining stretch of the wall. The initial tracks were recorded all over the wilds of British Columbia on rocks, bridges, […]

Dumbass Album: The Execution of Certain Actions
Time and space themselves are the instruments here. Recorded at night in scrap yards, railway tunnels, and atop a 40 foot metal tower, the recording process is ritualized and ritual represents the musical score. Possibly one of the least accessible Dumbass albums, but also one of the most significant. 01 Execution # 1 (railway tunnel […]

The History of Idiocy – The best of 2002-2008 The History of Idiocy was the second Dumbass best-of collection.

Disc One: 01 Waste 02 The Outline of the Hypothesis 03 […]
