The Umbrellas - Fairweather Friend (Vinyl)
Bay Area indie pop band the Umbrellas have announced the release of their sophomore album Fairweather Friend. They've also shared the album's lead single, "Three Cheers!" along with an accompanying music video.
Following the success of their self-titled debut in 2021 and tours with acts like Papercuts and Fucked Up, the Umbrellas built upon their jangly, lush indie-pop sound and cranked up the volume on their latest album.
"I think we got tired of people saying, 'Oh you're so much louder than I thought you'd be!' Our early recordings were really sweet and earnest… and we wanted it to be louder," bassist Nick Oka shared in a press statement.
The Umbrellas debut album was one of the surprise hits of an otherwise grim 2021. Channeling sold gold influences like The Pastels, Comet Gain, Orange Juice and The Aislers Set, The Umbrellas represent the fertile San Francisco Bay Area scene’s at its most pop-tastic.
“Fairweather Friend” is bigger in almost every way than their self-titled debut, featuring sterling songwriting, bigger and more nuanced production, and terrifically assured vocals and harmonies.
Tracklist:
1. Three Cheers! 03:16
2. Goodbye
3. Toe The Line
4. Echoes 03:25
5. Say What You Mean
6. Games
7. Gone 03:48
8. When You Find Out
9. Blue

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
