Rain Records/Pork Pie CD 02495
Release: 11.5.2007

The Germaicans from Dreseden never took care about being musically "pigeonholed". On their new album "Little Planet" there's hardly enough space for their tremendous variety of styles breaking into 0the well-known Yellow Umbrella orbit of Reggae-, Ska- and Rocksteeady matter.

YELLOW UMBRELLA have a great new record.

Their fifth album features sixteen tracks and presents a wider spectrum than ever before. Not only mastermind Jens Strohschnieder wrote songs, the new band members Alex Buck and Bernard Lanis showed their songwriting skills as well.

Traditional YU-style smashers such as “Ma Belle”, “Allez Les Jaunes!” and “Germaican” (feat. Dr. Ring-Ding) are joined by the heavy roots reggae songs “New Time Warrior” and “The World Is
Not Fair”, relaxed rocksteady gems such as “Wanderin’ On” and “Since You’ve Been Gone”; fine instrumentals („M“) and the dubby “The Lighthouse”.

Recorded at Berlin’s K4 studio (Beatsteaks, SEEED), “little planet“ shows that Yellow Umbrella have hit a new peak in style, sound and songwriting in 2007!

You never heard YELLOW UMBRELLA so powerful before on a record!
