The Umbrellas is the new band headed by Scott Windsor (the guy from The Lyndsay Diaries), and I have to say that it shows. The best way to describe this album is pop with a twist that prevents it from sounding like every other pop song out there. They aren’t necessarily fresh, but different. There are far too many love songs (and not-love-songs that pretty much sound like love songs anyway) to really give this album any depth.
That said, the Umbrellas are different from The Lyndsay Diaries in that their lyrics aren’t so repetitious and their arrangement are far more intricate and interesting. The Umbrellas really excel at their slower songs, which happen to make Windsor’s voice bearable and even ethereal. A good debut, but it leaves you waiting for more just so you can really form an opinion on the band.
