mUmbo has released their new single titled ‘Don’t Even Mind The Rain’. Subtle with a hook yet powerful in that musical stance and layered instrumentation under an angelic vocal track, ‘Don’t Even Mind The Rain’ is one of those songs that grow on you over time. The kind you miss when it’s not there to quench your thirst. The kind you listen to parts of over and over again and wonder how everything was so nicely pieced together.
A pleasing consonance of slight orchestration, mUmbo create a future classic with seemingly little effort.
