While we were away, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lump.world\/\"><strong>LUMP<\/strong><\/a>, the new collaboration between <strong>Laura Marling<\/strong> and <strong>Mike Lindsay<\/strong> ( <strong>Tunng<\/strong> and <strong>Throws<\/strong>) began emitting desirable sounds and objects, ultimately releasing their eponymous debut album on June 1st via <strong>Dead Oceans<\/strong>. As we&#8217;re sure you&#8217;re aware, <strong>Marling<\/strong> has had a deep and successful solo career and discography. But based on her earlier band roles (in particular as a member of the now-defunkt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelefortreport.com\/blog\/2011-02\/new-noah-and-the-whale\/\"><strong>Noah and the Whale<\/strong><\/a>) and now in <strong>LUMP<\/strong>, this band structure may comprise Marling&#8217;s best mode.<\/p>\n<p>What initially caught our attention was <strong>LUMP&#8217;s<\/strong> phenomenal first single, <em><strong>Curse Of The Contemporary<\/strong><\/em>, from the album and its mesmerizing official video. Check the official video below and then their fantastic live performance of the song on <strong>Later with Jools Holland<\/strong>. We are suckers for any California-centric lyrics, but coupled with the song&#8217;s musical motifs, the song is highly addictive. The song&#8217;s lyrics are at bottom. Great stuff!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4MTyqoigiso\" width=\"625\" height=\"425\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/obvRU-1uZIo\" width=\"625\" height=\"425\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Next check out two other great tracks off the album.\u00a0<em><strong>Late To The Flight\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is\u00a0the album\u2019s opening track.
