LUMER “The disappearing act” LP BEAST


Info

There’s been a surfeit of talented young bands coming out of Yorkshire’s towns and valleys – such as Working Men’s Club, The Lounge Society and Fehlt. And local venues such as The Trades in Hebden Bridge, Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, and Todmorden’s Golden Lion have been instrumental in supporting their burgeoning talent.

LUMER are a Hull-based four piece comprising of Alex Evans (vocals), William Evans (drums), Benjamin Jackson (guitars) and Benjamin Morrod (bass guitar). Their debut EP The Disappearing Act launches on 29 January and I’m fair blown away by it.

LUMER may be categorised as post punk, complete with catchy riffs and snarling vocals from Alex Evans, but there’s much more nuance and thought to the structure of their material, which keeps things interesting. Some of the tracks on The Disappearing Act are far from linear and they introduce some surprising twists and turns to keep you engaged.
