The new album BACK TO LAND: out now 🔮

Umbrellabirds is Sam Blickhan, Lewis Daly, and Alex Hunt. The band began as a long-distance recording project when Sam Blickhan and Lewis Daly began exchanging demos in 2013. Alex Hunt heard these sparsely beautiful demos and initially signed up to produce, but was soon recruited as a full band member. The intricate, autumnal debut album was recorded in 2014-16, the product of many late nights and countless miles of travel. Oda Almås played strings on the self-titled debut. Shortly thereafter, the band began work on their second album—Closing Ceremony (2020)—featuring a bigger sound and a wider collective of musicians including Shyam Prasad on drums, Will Harvey on strings, and Cath Day on clarinet. Their third album—BACK TO LAND—was released in November 2025, further developing their signature indie-folk sound. Umbrellabirds have been played on BBC 6 Music by DJ Tom Robinson and featured on the BBC Introducing Mixtape.

Packed With Performance
Warm Audio’s purpose and passion is to build gear that impacts the pro audio industry.  To do this they understand every product needs to meet top notch quality standards.  “Top notch” to Warm Audio means that the components inside each product, as well as the technical specifications meet or exceed look-a-like boutique products that cost significantly more.  Warm Audio has proven their formula time and time again by showing that high end designs can hit the market far below traditional boutique price points. Warm Audio accomplishes this through careful component selection, mass manufacturing, low markups, and tight quality control. What started out as an idea has turned into a massive movement.  Warm Audio has now sold thousands of units that are being used on hit records around the world. Warm Audio’s custom boutique components offer euphoric tone and quality that brings brilliance and luster to recordings that’s nearly impossible to achieve inside-the-box. Premium components such as; CineMag USA transformers, Altran USA transformers, AMI USA transformers, Russian Tung Sol Tubes, JJ Slovak Tubes, Kenetek Opto-cells, Custom mic capsules, Wima film capacitors, French Solen Capacitors etc… are just a few names of the quality components that Warm Audio proudly selects for their products.

Originally from Minnesota, I have called many places home. From the deserts of Arizona to the fjords of Northern Germany, I find myself growing ever more curious about the world around me. This music captures the emotions felt and lessons learned during my time abroad, and I hope it gives the listener inspiration to fulfil a dream. "Ylikoski" was the family name of my Finnish ancestors, who shortened it to just "Koski" (means 'river' in Finnish) when arriving in the US.
