I was a huge fan of Umbrellas' self-titled debut album. When I heard that they'd released a follow-up, I knew I had to hear it. I was not disappointed in the least. This is a very solid album; each track brings something special to the collection, and sounds crafted by this band are phenomenal. I did a little bit of research and found that James McAlister of Ester Drang/Pedro the Lion joined up with Umbrellas to collaborate on Illuminaire, what a bonus. If you like these guys, definitely check out Ester Drang and Pedro the Lion.This is a fabulous album to listen to while driving, hanging out, exercising, you name it. I think it's the variation in the songs that makes it so versatile. The songs are also memorable and will have you singing/sighing along with them in no time. I've had it on repeat for a while now and have yet to tire of these songs. A few favorites:1. Again & Again2. Angel or Demon3. Ships4. Dignified Exit Society
