Sounding more like an American modern country singer than a pop artist from Brighton, LUME has unveiled engaging sophomore track ‘Tip of Your Thumb’. It’s like Flint Eastwood meets Wyvern Lingo meets KT Tunstall, all wrapped up in a perfectly produced little bullet of sound. With the folk roundel opening, sounding like a passed-down blues ditty - “I don’t know what you been told, I heard all that glitters not gold, we made a plan for the overthrow, and ended up in line for the bow and arrow” - the rhythm set out by LUME’s dusky vocal patterns the rest of the track, formed of hard-hitting percussives, reverb-soaked guitar chords, with synths and altered vocals coming up from the electronic side. The tension between organic song structures and digital production leads further into the meaning behind ‘Tip of Your Thumb’, which LUME explains as “about the culture of typing our thoughts and fighting social media wars with smart phones, where our thumb takes over to replace our voice…” - HT
