Dumbo Gets Mad is a psychedelic pop project founded in 2011 by Luca Bergomi, a songwriter, producer, and sound designer from Emilia. The name of the project is inspired by the scene Pink Elephants on Parade, one of the most famous, surreal, and psychedelic sequences in Disney's Dumbo (1941). It is a metaphor for the childlike spirit that confronts and confuses the absurd.Initially conceived as a duo with Carlotta Menozzi, the project stems from the artist's free vision, which unpredictably and playfully mixes styles, voices, languages, and genres filtered through his own taste. The project debuted in Los Angeles with their first album, Elephants at the Door, which immediately attracted the attention of an international fanbase. The first single released, Plumy Tale, was included by critic Joe Tangari among the 50 best tracks of 2011 according to Pitchfork, while Marmalade Kids was chosen by NPR (the American public radio station) as 'song of the day'.In 2013, the second album, Quantum Leap, was released, which, compared to the debut, presents itself as a true psychedelic jam session; the song Indian Food consolidated the project's presence on the US music scene.The third album, Thank You Neil, was released in 2015: a soul-tinged record inspired by American astrophysicist and science communicator Neil deGrasse Tyson. Recorded entirely live, the album showcases a more elegant and minimalist approach to production and once again received widespread acclaim from international critics.In 2019, the single Makes You Fly was released by the French label Nice Guys, anticipating the album Things Are Random And Time Is Speeding Up, released in February 2021 and followed by a tour in North America and Mexico.
