Listen To Blue Mt Lumber's '87 Give Up' EP

It's well past time to grab a second coffee and jumpstart your hump day with Tāmaki Makaurau DIY maverick Blue Mt Lumber's new 87 Give Up EP. Leaning into refreshingly noisy distorted textures while serving up muscular, dancefloor friendly punk-funk / no wave grooves, Blue Mt Lumber's second collection of tunes in a decade bundles recent student radio hits 'St Luke's Freakout Tuesday 3pm' and 'Sun Revenger', alongside a trio of newies including instrumental interlude head-bopper 'dogwalker'. Drawing on a love for "redlined later-2000s / 2010s DIY stylings of bands like Japanther, Tyvek, PHF, Times New Viking, later Mint Chicks" and Babytron listening sessions, 87 Give Up closes with the instantly catchy 'Animal Attic', a spring-loaded rumination on everyday rituals that wouldn't sound out of place on a long-lost DFA release beamed into contemporary suburban Avondale. Hit play below and cross fingers for live appearances in the near future...
