Umbrellas - Illuminare
Review by Nakonechnikov Yaroslav
Illuminare, the third studio album by indie pop band Umbrellas, is a gem of a record. With its lush soundscapes, catchy melodies, and thoughtful lyrics, it's an album that's sure to captivate listeners from start to finish.
From the opening track "City Lights" with its driving beat and soaring chorus, to the dreamy "Ships" and the haunting "The City and the Sea," Illuminare showcases Umbrellas' versatility and songwriting prowess. Lead vocalist Scott Windsor's emotive vocals are a standout feature throughout the album, conveying both vulnerability and strength.
One of the album's highlights is "Crooked," a bittersweet ballad that showcases the band's ability to craft a memorable melody. The track's poignant lyrics and understated instrumentation make it a standout moment on the album.
