Don't Forget Your (Red) Umbrella
Posted October 31, 2007
By IronJedi,
The debut from indie label 7 Spin Music's Red Umbrella relies heavily on a sound inspired by modern retro brit-rock influenced acts Death Cab for Cutie and Athlete. Wishing for Boardwalk's musical, vocal and lyrical stylings made me think early of U2 co-mingled with the Seventy Sevens.
This album's catchy blend of pop/rock is quirky, yet accessible. Wishing for Boardwalk's lyrical depth is a pleasant surprise is a market monopolized by shallow and/or vague pretension. Red Umbrella is a refreshing band and Wishing for Boardwalk is a keen, stylish debut.
