Insufficient Funds: Dumbo Gets Mad - Elephants At The Door

Insufficient Funds is a weekly post in which we feature a free, or very close to it, piece of media that you can enjoy without overdrafting your bank account. So if you're low on funds, stay tuned to Cerebral Pop every Friday morning.
To me, music that takes a backseat instead of forcing its way to the front of your attention is immensely useful. Sometimes I just need a soundtrack to a monotonous task like delivering papers or writing/editing articles, and the new Dumbo Gets Mad album, Elephants At The Door, does that perfectly.

Most of the time I require instrumental music to fill that need, because I start to pay too much attention to the singing. With Elephants At The Door it is just another instrument in the lush soundscape, rather than a distraction. Best of all? The entire album only costs you a tweet or Facebook status update.

Yep, just hit this site, shoot out a tweet, and download the whole album for free. The psychedelic pop doesn't blow my mind, but I've still listened to it at least six or seven times this week. It is a wonderful way to fill any moments of silence you might encounter, and since it's free you might as well give it a try. Here are some samples in case you need more convincing.
