Dumbo Gets Mad

Dumbo Gets Mad is a psychedelic pop project formed in 2011 by Luca Bergomi, an Italian musician from Emilia who works as a producer, songwriter and sound designer. Their name refers to a scene in the film Dumbo (1941) and began as a duo alongside Carlotta Menozzi. The musical approach mixes styles, vocals, languages and genres with a free-spirited perspective.

Their debut album, Elephants at the Door, launched in Los Angeles, attracted international attention. Pitchfork placed Plumy Tale in its selection of the fifty best tracks of 2011, and NPR chose Marmalade Kids as its song of the day. Quantum Leap (2013) and Thank You Neil (2015) followed, the latter recorded live and inspired by the astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Following Makes You Fly (2019), they released Things Are Random And Time Is Speeding Up (2021), with tours across North America and Mexico, and collaborated with Marracash on Noi, Loro, Gli Altri. In 2025 they signed with Carosello Records to release Five Eggs, their fifth album, an egg-shaped record that alludes to the origin and fragility of existence. The project, with numerous concerts in Europe, America and Asia, presents itself in this work as an observer of the contemporary world. In Madrid, the Wurlitzer Ballroom hosts concerts and shows.
