They were founded in early 2011 in Los Angeles by Luca Bergomi, who released his debut album Elephants at the Door.
The album showcased a fresh approach to a mixture of musical styles and established the project as psychedelic pop.
The album received many excellent reviews online and the project gained a solid fan base worldwide, thanks to its pristine sound and style.
The live recorded album had a more elegant and minimal production style and received wonderful reviews (Stereogum, Vice …).
After four years of hiatus, Dumbo Gets Mad released a new single “Makes You Fly” with the French label “Nice Guys” in 2019 as a preview of a new full-length album.
