Album Review: Umlaut - ToYour Poverty Quietly Go

Andrew McDonald

"This is surely one to keep you guessing throughout"

Anyone who played the sax in Mr Bungle is obviously going to walk on the weirder side of pop, and this second record from Bar McKinnon’s Umlaut project is no exception. Drifting between twisted sax-driven club tunes and fuzzy electro pop rock, this is surely one to keep you guessing throughout. Clocking in at a click over half an hour, it never outstays its welcome and is really honest-to-god happy from start to finish, even if its wild style shifts come across as patchy as it goes on.
