{"product_id":"the-umbrellas-the-umbrellas","title":"The Umbrellas - The Umbrellas","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe San Francisco bay area has long been an important outpost of the International Pop Underground, from the 90s heyday of The Aislers Set, #Poundsign# and The Fairways to the string of legendary popfests in the early 00s and more recently to a DIY pop resurgence with bands like The Mantles, Flowertown and The Reds, Pinks \u0026amp; Purples. Now we're very happy to welcome into this rich pop tradition The Umbrellas, who, after one well-received tape\/single, are sure to dazzle with their new self-titled debut album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClassic indiepop influences abound, from The Byrds to Orange Juice, The Pastels, Comet Gain and Belle \u0026amp; Sebastian, along with a noticeable garage-pop\/Paisley Underground flavor that is a hallmark of San Francisco's best bands. Lead-off single \"She Buys Herself Flowers\" introduces us to a band that's both intimately conversant with indiepop history but also unburdened by it, a group with the song-crafting chops and spirit to take familiar elements and create for themselves a fresh new sound. The album goes from strength to strength, studded with pop gems like \"Near You,\" \"Lonely\" and \"Pictures\" -- tunes that sound like classics from the first listen, as timeless and elemental as all great pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ecredits\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"SLUMBERLAND RECORDS (REDEYE)","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP (monorail exclusive sunshine yellow)","offer_id":53022372135254,"sku":"MRM-03686","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/6088\/9430\/files\/a0497867769_10.png?v=1787674393","url":"https:\/\/monorailmusic.com\/products\/the-umbrellas-the-umbrellas","provider":"Monorail Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
