About this album

Dumb Waiters is the polished synth-pop debut that made The Korgis stand out in 1980. Blending airy keyboards, melodic pop-rock and a thoughtful, slightly melancholic tone, the album helped define the duo’s sleek early-’80s sound. Its best-known song, Everybody’s Got to Learn Sometime, became a major international hit and remains one of the era’s most enduring pop singles, while Silent Running and Love Ain’t Too Far Away reinforce the record’s sharp hooks and emotional restraint. The album sits neatly between post-punk polish and radio-friendly pop, giving The Korgis a lasting place in the transition to mainstream synth-driven music.
