Ume - Phantoms (2011) [VBR MP3] [FAP]

Ume have received many accolades for their live performances on tour and at SXSW and with due cause: they are an absolutely thrilling live band. Their debut full-length, Phantoms, attempts to translate their kinetic live act for the home listening experience. Rubicon opens the album with a riff that borders on math rock but breaks into vocals that are undeniably pop, with an airy chorus ensconced in reverb. It sets a great pace for the disc. Lauren Larsons singing style and dissonant chord progressions have earned Ume comparisons to Sonic Youth; on Phantoms, Built to Spill by way of Don Caballero seems more appropriate.
