UPSIDE DOWN UMBRELLA

Blue sky, sunshine, deja vu glazed with dread. Something horrible is going to happen about now. It is a perfect summer day in a meadow of tall grass. J.V. is following her brothers, lagging lazily behind. A shadow falls on the ground; something rustles the grass. J.V. turns -- she cannot help it, it is what happens next -- and sees a strange man. He has no face, like a minor character in a dream. The man holds something writhing and indistinct. He asks, "How would you like to get into this bag with the snakes?"
A combination of tightly fused electronic rhythms, textures, and manipulated field recordings with airy, crystalline guitars always present, Upside Down Umbrella offers up a varied mix of rainy day soundtracks, somber strains, and buoyant, undulating cadences. UDU continue in their collaborative effort to interpret, isolate, manipulate, and seduce the everyday domain of sonic background into cohesive, engaging structures of calculated aural manifestation.
