It’s been a while since i heard some hard rock from a woman (shout to Joan Armatrading). Newcomer group Ume drops this little number Black Stone as a reminder that women do indeed rock. Hard guitar work here, from the slow grinding intro to the pace quickening bridge. There are times when lead singer Lauren Larson gets drowned out near the end but all in all she has a nice airy voice; the kind that adds the right kind of contrast with big drums and guitars without sounding like trance music. Good enough to make me want to hear another song from her. Black Stone. Enjoy.
