Video: Jack Ladder & the Dreamlanders, ‘Dumb Love’ Seraphina Lotkhamnga on October 24th, 2012 Share this:TweetEmail 0 <p>If you were to intensify Jens Lekman’s baritone and melodrama 100 times and coat it with a tone so dark it sounds ominous, you’d have <a href="http://www.facebook.com/JackLadderAndTheDreamlanders" target="_blank">Jack Ladder & the Dreamlanders</a>. The brainchild of Tim Rogers, the music of Jack Ladder recalls fellow Aussie Nick Cave, and it’s earned notice in his homeland with two nominations for the Australia Music Prize – a “best debut” nod for 2008’s “Love Is Gone” and a nomination for 2011’s “Hurtsville,” now making its way to these shores via <a href="http://holloweyedrecords.com/" target="_blank">Holloweyed Records</a>. Rogers tends to sing of love as if it were a journey to the gallows, but he wields a certain charm as well. Songs like “Dumb Love” have him sound profoundly lost, but sneering, and that overemotional combination is what makes “Hurtsville” so riveting. The Wilk-directed video is an excellent reflection of the single with its sleek black-and-white shots inserted with suddenly horrific facial expressions from Rogers.</p> <p><strong>||| Download:</strong> <a href="http://soundcloud.com/indigenouspromotions/dumb-love-jack-ladder-the/download" target="_blank">“Dumb Love,”</a> <a href="http://soundcloud.com/indigenouspromotions/jack-ladder-the-dreamlanders-1/download" target="_blank">“Short Memory”</a> and <a href="http://soundcloud.com/indigenouspromotions/jack-ladder-the-dreamlanders/download" target="_blank">“Cold Feet.” </a></p> <p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="100%" height="18" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="src" value="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F59684933&auto_play=false&player_type=tiny&font=Verdana&color=0200ff" /></object></p> <p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="100%" height="18" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="src" value="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F49841694&auto_play=false&player_type=tiny&font=Verdana&color=0200ff" /></object></p> <p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="100%" height="18" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="src" value="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F48704451&auto_play=false&player_type=tiny&font=Verdana&color=0200ff" /></object></p> <p><strong>||| Live: </strong>Jack Ladder & the Dreamlanders play Friday at Origami Vinyl and Oct. 28 at Los Globos.</p> <div id='jp-relatedposts' class='jp-relatedposts' > <h3 class="jp-relatedposts-headline"><em>Related</em></h3> </div> </article> <section class="rail-right" id="featured-rail"> <div class="widget_text" id="text-6"> <div class="textwidget"><a href="https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/3973037/264167/4272?u=https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0B00612C63181723?did=cyber8" target="blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://i0.wp.com/buzzbands.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29114256/885fm-yearendconcert-241124-1.jpeg?resize=320%2C400&ssl=1" alt="Desert Daze" width="320" height="400" data-recalc-dims="1" data-lazy-src="https://i0.wp.com/buzzbands.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29114256/885fm-yearendconcert-241124-1.jpeg?resize=320%2C400&is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1" srcset="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class=" jetpack-lazy-image"><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback="1" loading="lazy" src="https://i0.wp.com/buzzbands.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/29114256/885fm-yearendconcert-241124-1.jpeg?resize=320%2C400&ssl=1" alt="Desert Daze" width="320" height="400" data-recalc-dims="1" /></noscript></a></div> </div> </section> <section class="rail-right" id="single-post-rail"> <div class="widget_image_text_widget" id="image_text_widget-11"><h2></h2><div class="widget-content"><img class="image-text-widget-image lazyload" data-src="" width="100%" height="auto" title="Video: Jack Ladder & the Dreamlanders, 'Dumb Love'" alt="" style="margin-left: auto;
