Debut album by Perth’s widescreen indie-rock craftsmen Umpire. Sprawling melancholic, indie-rock infused with massive sun-drenched melodies, serpentine guitar parts and soaring vocals. Apricot Rail
supported by 6 fans who also own “The Parachute Failure”
Everything about this EP works together: the tempo, the instrumentation, the order of presentation, the artwork; it is the aural equivalent of your favourite dark chocolate: smooth, sensual and deeply satisfying.
Take “Wake”, for example: a warm-bloodied, sensuous track that uses the combination of saxophone and guitar to great effect, conveying similar emotion to Vangelis' "Love Theme" from his seminal score for Blade Runner. thomas mathie
