Today marks the release of Dumbsaint’s new Panorama, in ten pieces.
Their long awaited follow up to 2012’s Something That You Feel Will Find Its Own Form is out now on LP, CD and digital formats through Bird’s Robe Records and Art As Catharsis Records, with a limited
Containing 55 minutes of Dumbsaint’s darkest, most challenging music to date, ‘Panorama, in ten pieces.’ was written over the course of a year, and recorded in late 2014 with producer Dax Liniere in several rural and suburban studios. Mixed by Liniere over a 4-month period and mastered in High Dynamic Range by Sean Diggins, this record showcases Dumbsaint’s intricate and unorthodox songwriting.
As with every Dumbsaint release, ‘Panorama, in ten pieces.’ contains a synced film component. The 60-minute feature-length film was written, edited and filmed entirely by the band:
“Panorama, in ten pieces. is a suburban horror that tells the story of a residential street in darkness. Populated by a revolving ensemble of dysfunctional lovers, loners and shut-ins, the film peers in at the strange relationships and domestic rituals that go on behind the closed doors of one neighbourhood at night.”
Shot over 6 months with a cast of 25 actors, this surrealistic adaptation of the album’s 10 tracks will come as a vinyl-only exclusive to be released separately in full at the end of 2015.
This ambitious release not only marks a new beginning, but a fitting end to the past 3 years, which has seen the band release The Auteur EP and Disappearance In A Minor Role soundtrack and DVD. In that time Dumbsaint have toured Australia with This Will Destroy You (USA), Russian Circles (USA), Boris (JPN) and Earth (USA).
