mUmbo, one of UK’s most promising rising rock bands, drops thought-provoking new single. Stamped and sealed with their signature blues-inspired tone, “Fringe Benefits” explores the social and personal challenges of our time through sensory-awaking soundscapes and mesmerizing melodies. Soulful, gritty and dreamy all in one track.

mUmbo takes listeners onto a time-travel journey, hitting the nostalgic retro blues rock, making a stop at era-marked alternative rock influences, sprinkled with folk, dream pop and jazz that organically and tracelessly came through the trio’s diverse music backgrounds. “Fringe Benefits” is in conversation with time, modern and past. It sits in the crossroad pointing the future.

mUmbo is clearly a band with something to say, and they say it with style. Going through their song log is like a treasure hunt, with each song of theirs being a gem. You’ll thank yourself for the discovery, and you know things like that deserve to be held in a special place. “Fringe Benefits” evokes a rare kind of deja vu when you least expect it. Like a disturbing force in time, the tears in old places then forge into a unique new one.
