Umm Offer Minimalist Pop Tune

Leave a comment

Today I’ve really been digging this new song called “Yeah I Want It” from L.A. based band Umm. It reminds me a bit of fellow duo Jack + Eliza if they added more rock elements and experimental sounds. You can sometimes hear a bit of grunge in the song intertwined with some great vocal harmonies. Most anyone can find something to like here.

Umm will release new album Double Worshipper on July 28th via Majestic Litter (pre-order).

Grunge Americana From Umm

Leave a comment

Umm is a new two piece project made up of husband and wife duo Chris Senseney and Stefanie Drootin. While they’ve made music individually over the years, Umm marks their first collaborative effort and it’s clear from the track below, “Black Summer,” that they’ve uncouthed something special. This song is a grunge rock track meets americana– you get the fuzzed out guitars, but also the tinkling percussion. Vocally, you get this great male/female back and forth going on that reminds me of The New Pornographers. Take a listen below and discover a great new band.
