mUmbo are a UK/Italy dream-pop trio creating cinematic songs that feel both deeply personal and beautifully spacious. Formed by Emma Semple, Doug MacGowan, and Antonio Dalé, they write and produce collaboratively between London and Italy.
The trio is excited to announce their impressive upcoming EP, “When It Was Quiet.” This EP draws from the powerful essence of human experience, perceived through the eyes of a distant observer. Poetic, captivating, and seizing fleeting moments of perception, each track stands as a remarkable masterpiece in its own.
“Our influences include Cocteau Twins, Mazzy Star, Goldfrapp, Ry Cooder, Mark Knopfler, Johnny Marr and Billie Holiday, reflecting a shared pull toward mood, melody and texture over genre boundaries.” – mUmbo
The EP as a whole offers a truly comforting listening experience, ideal for those slow mornings or quiet nights when you need a gentle touch. Its cinematic atmosphere wraps around you like a warm embrace, filled with tender melodies and soothing notes that resonate deeply within.
“You Can Do What You Want,” “You Know The Song,” and “Warm Moon” truly embody mUmbo’s enchanting guitar chords and melodies, complemented by organic percussion and minimalist drum patterns, all beautifully enhanced by Emma’s soothing vocals. Listening to these tracks evokes a sense of warmth and positivity, reminding me of a lighter, more uplifting version of Portishead, free from any dark undertones.
When It Was Quiet stands out for its restraint — it leaves space for the listener.
The EP concludes with a hauntingly beautiful guitar solo that gently fades away, reminiscent of a boat gliding over the water, leaving behind just a trace of its journey through the waves. It’s truly enchanting and remarkable; mUmbo has poured their hearts into what could very well be their most heartfelt release to date.
The lead track, “You Can Do What You Want To,” is highly narrative and cinematic.
“You Know the Song” and “Worm Moon” move into more layered, atmospheric, subjective territory.
What connects them all is a shared emotional resonance— music that feels both distant and deeply felt, observed and lived at once.
So, STREAM ON YOUR FAVORITE PLATFORM now!
Its cinematic atmosphere wraps around you like a warm embrace, filled with tender melodies and soothing notes that resonate deeply within.
