The Umbrellas have some new news: an upcoming 7", plus a US West Coast tour.
The band will release the two-song Write It In The Sky on June 24 via Slumberland Records. The a-side was also shared earlier this week.
In a press release, the band says:
The instrumental and melody for “Write it in the sky” was improvised one morning by Matt. The song makes use of droning via the guitars' A and high E strings. While recording we strived to create an abrasive but beautiful production. We even have a track of Morgan just making feedback. Nick and Matt wrote the lyrics together. The verses alternate between the two; the first section by Matt, the second by Nick and so on. The lyrics to the chorus were written collaboratively while waking back from taco bell on Geary... repeating different variations until "write in the sky" stuck.
The Umbrellas previously released a self-titled album in 2021.
