The new single is a song about escape and reaching for a blue sky and some clear, fresh air. New starts, new perspectives - there’s always a blue sky waiting for you …if you can only reach it. mUmbo explore the permutations, atmosphere and textures of vocals, guitars and drums/percussion with a sonic pallette ranging from ethereal, chilled soundscapes to guitar-driven modern blues/rock and psychedelic progressive rock. One of the main aims of the song is to create a very dense sensory, vibey quality to connect directly with the listener.
‘Don’t Even Mind The Rain’ explores the themes of hope, love, regret, a quiet optimism and a bright sadness. A very personal song with a universal affinity.

'Swing My Hip' is a song that strikes a chord both on a personal level and also within the context or the wider world. It in effect takes a view from the bridge - where we are, were and what could be. There is a positive message too as it connects with the age-old human spirit that always cuts through the fog. Sonically the treatment of the layered guitars and vocals create a retro vibe which is also reflected in the video. We feel this compliments both the message and the mood of the song.
This song alludes to the social and personal challenges of our time. Sonically, it mines the rich vein of retro blues rock and alt rock. A song for, and of, our times.
