The Umbrellas Pictures ( Official Video)

Directed by Michael Cruz Taken from their selftitled debut album, out August 6, 2021 on Slumberland Records. Preorder: Joining a long line of SF bay area indie bands, The Umbrellas are sure to dazzle with their new selftitled debut album. Classic indiepop influences abound, from The Byrds to Orange Juice, The Pastels, Comet Gain and Belle Sebastian, along with a noticeable garagepop, Paisley Underground flavor that is a hallmark of San Francisco s best bands. Leadoff single She Buys Herself Flowers introduces us to a band that s both intimately conversant with indiepop history but also unburdened by it, a group with the songcrafting chops and spirit to take familiar elements and create for themselves a fresh new sound. The album goes from strength to strength, studded with pop gems like Near You, Lonely and Pictures tunes that sound like classics from the first listen, as timeless and elemental as all great pop.
