WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
".....manages to completely avoid every current trend being flogged at the moment to approach a timelessness that rewards upon repeated listens." 5/5 - the vine.com.au
"record of the year thus far no doubt" - x-press magazine
"a song ('streamers') i can't get out of my head. a wonderful place to be." 5/5 - richard kingsmill, triple j
"geoff symons' sensitive haunted tenor is given dramatic tension by michael lake's almost narrative guitar playing, hanging back providing spidery notes in the more contemplative moments and rising to wall-of-sound sonics when an emotional wallop is needed..........(they) uncover a collision between psychedelic furs and tortoise in the closing track 'vapours wrecked your knives', blending appropriately understated post-punk crooning and hypnotic guitar/xylophone patterns. all in all, an immensely promising debut from a band definitely worth keeping an eye and ear on." 4/5 - rave magazine
"there's not a dud moment here. every track has a vitality and honesty that's utterly gripping.........studied, solid and revealing a substantial knack for powerful and emotionally resonant songwriting, umpire prove how important they are to local music. one of the best local rock releases of the year, if not THE best." CD OF THE WEEK - the drum media
