“Cuz we’re all just getting older
And the city feels so small
Watch your dreams become an echo down the hall”
All aboard the streetcar to another instant chamber pop classic from the Bay. Fairweather Friend by The Umbrellas criss-crosses the familiar with the new in the way that only a maturing indie band can do. Steeped with knowledge and nostalgia of indie classics over the decades, yet confidently sounding like today, the SF jangle quartet plays with stop and go rhythms, varied lead singers and harmonies, light-hearted strumming, brief heavy jams, and fog-lifting morning musings into a pastel collage pleasing from the start. Lyrics above from album highlight “Echoes.”
The band will be touring the UK and and a couple other European cities over the next month, so we look forward to the opportunity to see them play once they’re back home.
