mUmbo, London-based alternative rock/pop duo is back with a new single, "A Little Life." It is a sonic time capsule packed with the warmth and wonder of the '70s. With dreamy, psychedelic textures and a warm, sentimental undercurrent, it is one of those hazy memories that you never want to go away.
Famed for their trademark combination of otherworldly tones and rugged, earthly musicianship, mUmbo's sound flows from a diverse mix of sounds, a weave of chilling sounds that harken back to Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star, Mark Knopfler, Johnny Marr, not to mention Billie Holiday. This most recent effort embodies that unique mélange, delivering an experience that is both familiar and delightfully new.
"A Little Life" is a mood and a momentary glimpse of ruminative beauty enshrouded in glimmering guitars and gorgeously fragile vocals. The band's knack for embodying the best of classic rock's golden age while retaining a fresh, indie-rock attitude makes this song an easy standout. Whether you favor vintage psychedelia or contemporary alt-pop, A Little Life connects past and present effortlessly.
As each new release marks a notch in the band's growing legacy, "A Little Life" is a testament to a band that finds inspiration from nostalgia and innovation. This is music you get lost in hit play and let it carry you to a time and place that never was.
