"Illuminare" by Umbrellas

[YI]

Okay, I'll eventually touch on this in my top 100 thread, but I decided this album deserves to be brought to people's attentions. I only heard this a couple of days ago and it's flat out beautiful. Basically it's indie with an electro kind of vibe, somewhere between Modest Mouse and Death Cab For Cutie, but with some synth and shit for good measure. The singer has a very 'weird' voice, it's quite high, but it really draws you in, and fits the music perfectly. This album, is just flat out beautiful. Words can't do it justice, it's a modern masterpiece. It's nothing hugely original, but everything just fits together so perfectly. I just can't explain it. It's just REALLY FUCKING GOOD!!! That's all you need to know. So people, get this album if it's the last thing you do.

Give them a listen, fucking beautiful;

The first four tracks are on the album, the second too are off the debut album.

Oh, and the singer is an ugly motherfucker.
