After releasing a handful of songs earlier this month, Dumb are back with yet another single and a new album to boot. Out November 11, Pray 4 Tomorrow will arrive via Mint Records, with new track "Pull Me Up" making its debut today.

The music video for "Pull Me Up" shows the band walking around, buying scratch tickets and staring at train tracks, among other mundane activities, matching the song's insistence that "It feels like nothing ever changes."

"It seems that these days even some of our more intelligent friends find themselves trapped in loops of cyclic discourse, in an endless battle between other chronically-online walking encyclopedias fruitlessly attempting to force the truth into submission," Dumb fronter Franco Rossino said in a statement. "The song 'Pull Me Up' (a reference to 'Pulled Up' by the Talking Heads) is all about reaching out to those friends who have been inside too long, their brains fried from a repetitive strain injury."

With Pray 4 Tomorrow, the Vancouver post-punks are gearing up to release their most pop-sensible record to date, while still holding onto their signature syncopation and dissonant tones, according to a press release.

Pray 4 Tomorrow follows 2019's Club Nites. The recently released songs "Dropout" and "Sleep Like a Baby" will also appear on the record.
