Dumb Numbers, aka Australian musician Adam Harding and a revolving cast of collaborators (Lou Barlow, Dale Crover, Murph, David Yow, to name four) will release a triple 10″ box set of split records with David Lynch, Melvins, and David Yow. You can get a taste of what’s to come via a food-oriented trailer that was directed and edited by Harding. The box set is limited to 975 hand-numbered copies, pressed on black vinyl marbled w/ gold, silver, and oxblood colors, and packaged in a custom wooden box, with screen-printed art by Mackie Osborne. It’s out September 25 via Joyful Noise and pre-orders are available now. Tracklist and individual 10″ cover art is below.

Last in NYC opening for My Bloody Valentine, Dumb Numbers have West Coast dates lined up with The Lemonheads this fall. All dates are listed below.

Speaking of Lynch, it’s still unclear what was actually being shot at Grand Prospect Hall on Monday (8/17), though it’s pretty certain it wasn’t actually the show Twin Peaks. (Showtime flat-out said it was not the show.) Was it a commercial/promo for Lynch’s upcoming new episodes of his iconic television series, though, or just something else that happened to have that name? The crew were all tight-lipped, saying they signed non-disclosure agreements.
