It appalls me that these guys, at the time of this post, only have 98 fans on Facebook...granted, that's 92 more than I currently have, but they're a lot more talented, and worth listening to...in trying to find words to describe them, I stumbled upon their description of themselves...a "playful mélange of post-rock, geek rock, soul, British-invasion pop and psychadelia..."
In comparison to other, more famous musicians, the Ums are similar to the Beatles, Ben Folds, and Rufus Wainwright (all personal favorites of mine, highly recommended to EVERYONE).
"Bathroom Walls" is by far my favorite song from the band...A contemplative, slower song, but with beautiful vocals and harmonies, and a jazz element (something I've come to expect from the band). The song has ups, and downs, and progresses both musically and emotionally. Overall, the Ums are worth the listen...you can't find much of their music on their Facebook page, but you can see more on their iLike page, both links will be listed below...Five stars!
Here's to a little rock in your lives,
