‘English Dream’ is the stonking new single from post-punk band ‘Lumer’. The song is a throbbing sociopolitical banger that is gritty and witty. The vocals are Mark E Smith like in both delivery and quality. Lyrics like “I’m a dosser by trade on a minimum wage…” are very much on script for the present landscape and give a voice to the voiceless that are suffering in silent anger. If George Orwell was alive today this is the kind of music he’d be into.
‘Lumer’ are from Hull and draw inspiration from the surrounding pot holed streets and gentrified train stations. They are definitely a band to look out for.
