Pet umbrella – Actual reality

Band: Pet umbrella
Title: Actual reality
Number of songs: 5
Year: 2003

This quintet from Tingsryd, Kronoberg County, Sweden plays progressive rock of old school. A qualified guess is that both Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Gentle Giant are in the record collection. With a girl on vocals, thoughts are sometimes led away to Kaipa’s latest work, which is a warm praise “in my book”. It is well played, neat and does not fall into overplay just because in true prog tradition a bit of clever beat turns here and there. In other words, it seems quite clear which target group Pet Umbrella is targeting, and I do not think that they will disappoint anyone. For my part, they are happy to fill the void after the disembodied warm-land sprogs World of Silence, which I remember with sadness and sorrow. Recommended.

Note that they have 2 of their songs included in the “Raisin’ Hell In Blekinge” 2003 Compilation NLP Records
13 –Pet Umbrella: Possessions
14 –Pet Umbrella: Common Sense
