Ume hail from Austin, Texas and seem to have brought the scorching heat with them on their single, “Captive”. It’s a bold rocker that hits you hard in it’s face, never losing steam. Think of them as a fantastic blend of Metric and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Great female vocals backed up by ambitious rock. It’s over 100 degrees in New York today, but this song makes me forget that.
It’s from the bands sophomore album, Phantoms, due August 30 on Modern Outsider Records.
