Melbourne-based experimental collective Umlaut return with their most audacious and electrifying work yet: *Desolë*, their third album. This record not only marks a sonic evolution for the group but also a significant change in lineup, with the arrival of long-time friend and legendary drummer Danny Heifetz (of Mr. Bungle). Comprising the core trio of Clinton "Bär" McKinnon, Angus Leslie, and Shane Lieber, Umlaut's ever-evolving lineup has explored live formations ranging from seven musicians to intricate, brass-laden arrangements. Now distilled into a tight-knit quartet, Umlaut embarks headfirst on a new chapter, forged by chemistry, intuition, and a shared love for unpredictability.
