LUMP (Laura Marling and Tunng’s Mike Lindsay) perform Curse of the Contemporary on Later… with Jools

That guy playing guitar was distracting AS FUCK. Just chill the fuck out, man.

The lead guitar seems like a bit of a rip off of Connan Mockasin's sound.

Heresy I know but I prefer this to her recent solo stuff

nice

It’s funny that Laura looks at the guitar like she’s never played one before, when she could actually outplay everyone on that stage.

con temporary. exactly

Ridiculous. They made it better.

so so so dope, incredible

Mike Lindsay acting like he drank 4 Red Bulls before going on stage.

Why are people being dicks about Mike Lindsay. Dude's just feelin it.

just ditch the guitar sweetie. you added nothing, and wouldn't have even if it WAS plugged in...

What a lot of people don’t know is Laura is a notorious prankster who likes nothing better than putting itching powder in a random band members underwear before a show. Thank goodness she didn’t do it for this performance

best live performance ever, her voice its so cool

Sounds like an alternative rock version of Kate Bush singing The Mamas & the Papas

Her voice reminds me of Kate Bush a little bit

Laura never ceases to amaze. True musicianship. I think we need more neo-psychedelic tracks like this.

I keep coming back to this performance again and again, feeling like an excited teenager every time. I want this to last longer because it's the most interesting and exciting piece of pop music EVER!

I concur. The northwest of England has definately had the most success regarding football trophies.

do they know they created MAGIC???

Just found this. Laura is incredible. But that guy is a lesson to all of us. Look at him, completely in the moment, feeling it deep within. Absolute joy to watch.

First time I've heard this. Must have been on one the few albums I missed. How hypnotic is that bass line and the harmonizing with the drums and organ/sampler/reverb or whatever it is?!? Delightful 👏

Jason Lee on guitar

Brilliant album! One of the best releases in recent years!

I saw these at Hebdon bridge

¡Súper mega chingon! En México suena LUMP 🇲🇽

If Joe Cocker played guitar.

Mesmerising! 😍

the lyrics are poetic. the music is almost psychedelic, 60s retro...

PURE!!!

Trop cool

Great expression from the guitarist. Everyone's a critic these days.

Tune

I like how only one dude is hyped

Matt Ingram great as usual... but the song, the voice, the dancing guitarist... all these people are taking themselves way too seriously... I just find this... boring (!). Hopefully, knowing Laura, it will pass... the sooner the better...

Why is the guy on guitar leaping up and down so much. He looks really silly.

God damn this a good song.

dat bass

Love his energy, Mr Jumpy.

That guitarist is at 100 😂🙌🏽! He’s like Jack Black on the School of Rock. Too much man they may kick you out of the band lol

That guy on the left is really annoying...it comes painful to watch this

love this album🌚

Interesting lyrics .
Sometimes I feel this way .

She lived in California for a while. I had kind of the reverse feeling about London . I was bored and moved back to California. I think being bored is less about the place than the person . Life is what you make it.

Curse of the Contemporary
Laura Marling, Mike Lindsay, ...

If you should be bored in California
I'm sure I'm not the first to warn ya
Don't read in too much to all the signs and turns
Keep your wits about you with your mind freedom
If you should be bored in California
I'm sure I'm not the last to warn ya
The natives scaled the mountains for the promise of the sea
But deem the land unworthy of theM evidently
We salute the sun because
When the day is done
We can't believe what we've become
Something else to pray upon
And evidently
It's just another vanity
Another something to believe
The curse of the contemporary
We salute the sun because
When the day is done
We can't believe what we've become
Something else to pray upon
And evidently
It's just another vanity
Another something to believe
The curse of the contemporary
If you should be bored in California
I'm sure I'm not the first to warn ya
Don't read in too much to all the signs and turns
Keep your wits about you with your mind freedom
If you should be bored in California
I'm sure I'm not the last to warn ya
The natives scaled the mountains for the promise of the sea
But deem the land unworthy of theM evidently
We salute the sun because
When the day is done
We can't believe what we've become
Something else to pray upon
And evidently
It's just another vanity
Another something to believe
The curse of the contemporary
We salute the sun because
When the day is done
We can't believe what we've become
Something else to pray upon
And evidently
It's just another vanity
Another something to believe
The curse of the contemporary

that guitarist is being a tit :'(

the bassist is nailing it

very kate bush with a hint of joni mitchell

Slightly different take on album version. Great track.

Looking forward to a live video of May I Be The Light - brilliant album! Laura is beyond phenomenal

I can see many similarities with PJ Harvey's voice.
