The Umlauts played EOTR for the first time last year, naturally we had to invite them back. Their 2021 debut EP, Ü, featured foot-stomping favourite “Boiler Suits & Combat Boots” and seamlessly merged synth-pop, no wave and post-punk. Since the release of Ü, The Umlauts have caught the attention of Fred Perry and NME, with Beats Per Minute comparing the band to a “post-LCD Soundsystem, pre-apocalyptic electro-kraut quartet.” We’re delighted to have them back.
