Lampooning experts are the Vancouver rock band Dumb. Following the playfully accusing “Beef Hits” and the nightlife-critical title track from their upcoming Club Nites album, the quartet shares a new single that shows how reinforced we are in our stimulus seas. In the free-floating, scratchy “Content Jungle,” lead singer Franco Rosino speak-sing-shouts. “Something sacred tells me I know what to buy,” he sings. “I think I could fly on this endless treadmill.”

The band gave KEXP a quote that teeters between academic and poetic:
“Content Jungle” is a yell through the cracks in TV’s hallowed total flow, about being immersed in being talked to but not spoken to..
The pain
O the pain
But O the rigidity in environs the faith in seasons and acquaintances not found irl
The static universe
There for anyone to bob and flow upon and forge an individuality otherwise precluded by one’s social anxiety
WHICH is only further entrenched by endless tv watching and saturation with bit form paradigms of humanity
Also it’s a jungle
