The Umbrellas

Bay Area jangle pop band the Umbrellas call on the same spirit of wistful reflection and earnest songcraft that defined twee movements of the past. The band's upbeat melodic pop takes cues from various points in indie pop history, recalling the work of artists from K Records, Sarah Records, and Slumberland's '90s rosters while putting a personalized spin on the sound. After a home-recorded EP, the Umbrellas worked with Slumberland to release both their self-titled debut LP in 2021 and their 2024 sophomore effort Fairweather Friend.
