De Volkskrant
Umbgrove has a strong empathy and writes very visually.
Silent Recording is an album that grabs you by the throat.
OVER
Sober, sec and therefore extremely effective. Beautiful plate.
Heaven
Umbgrove applies for the position of the regretted Bram Vermeulen.
It is becoming increasingly crowded at the intersection of cabaret and pop music. Rear Bridge by singer/guitarist Arthur Umbgrove is a pinnacle in that genre.
The pair always write compostions with intriguing twists. This resulted in a strong debut CD and an even more impressive second album. Beautiful all.
