about

Dennis Young is best known for his multi-instrumental work with the NYC no wave/post-punk band Liquid Liquid. Much like that pioneering group he has continually pursued and mashed together different genres (including a recent album of singer-songwriter material), releasing albums on Bureau B, Elevator Bath, Staubgold and many others.

Grey Umbrella was completed in several stages - the first being in 2017 when Dennis recorded a number of live jams using a Roland Groovebox paired with a synthesizer. The project sat until 2019 when he gathered a number of musician friends to add live instrumentation (including vocals by Sal Principato on the track Sticky Feet) and the tracks found new light and even danceability.

Like all of his work, Grey Umbrella is both highly listenable and challenging at the same time.
