A
little bit of research (or a simple Bandcamp search) shows that “Get Used To It”
is the second release from Stupid Bummed.
The first release is available on cassette as well, and though the third
doesn’t seem to be that doesn’t mean it won’t be eventually. Who
likes artists that release all their music on cassette? Yeah, it’s me.
Stupid
Bummed has the sound of lo-fi pop rock, to put it bluntly, but what seems like
it should be more upbeat or just happier sort of lyrics, actually seems to be
more mundane. I do enjoy the fact
immensely that this could be something that I won’t name to a particular band
but have a different feeling entirely if the lyrics just weren’t so depressing.
Even
though I’ve downloaded the other two Stupid Bummed releases, I do intend to get
the cassette for the first one and should the third ever come out on cassette,
well, you know. There are also some
instrumental mood portions on this tape, so it isn’t straight up The Smiths
meets Stereo, but yeah, if you’re looking for something that sounds happy on
the surface but really is much more complex underneath it all—musically,
lyrically, emotionally, thought provokingly, etc.—then this is perfect for
you.
