They have also released a video for the first single, \"Three Cheers!\". The Umbrellas, a quartet, are romantic rebels who craft irresistible indie pop anthems. Their self-titled debut LP, released in 2021, was a revelation and sparked an international tour. Its successor, \"Fairweather Friend,\" goes even further: it absorbs the sonic assault of their live shows and balances it with studio precision. This album is brimming with highlights. For example, the track \"Three Cheers!\" sounds rhythmic and sunny but hides sharp lyrics, all delivered by Nick Oka (bass) who explains that it's a pseudo-political song about power struggles that occur at work or within a group of friends. It is, in fact, a song of observation. With its ten tracks, \"Fairweather Friend\" approaches 'blissful' pop while being fueled by a sense of risk and the precision that comes from long months spent on the road. The touring experience has solidified the band and allowed them to turn up the volume, perhaps even a lot more. \"We gave ourselves more space for this album,\" explains Keith Frerichs (drums). \"We wanted to have time to literally sit with the songs and really work on them.\" As a result, The Umbrellas are both more physical and more controlled on their new LP. Overall, \"Fairweather Friend\" is a bold indie pop triumph crafted with determination and care by this Frisco band.\"","brand":"The Umbrellas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55307677270360,"sku":null,"price":20240202.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/5055869550406_0a00e671-f8a8-419e-a1ba-05f7755259ee.jpg?v=1760310417","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/the-umbrellas_fairweather-friendlimited-green-vinyl_2024_dif","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
