UME: THE NEW RECORD // KICKSTARTER

www.kickstarter...
UME IS RECORDING A NEW ALBUM WITH GRAMMY-WINNING PRODUCER ADAM KASPER. JOIN US TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!
THE ROAD TO THE NEW RECORD
For almost two years, we've been touring non-stop, supporting Phantoms, writing, demoing and road-testing new songs. Finally... the opportunity Ume has been working towards for years is here.
On Sept 30th, we are going into the studio with Grammy-winning producer Adam Kasper to make the album we've always dreamed of. Adam has worked with bands like Nirvana, Queens of the Stone Age (Songs for the Deaf), Cat Power (You Are Free), and Foo Fighters (Nothing Left To Lose). And he believes in Ume.
We are excited! But we are also an independent band self-funding the making of our record.
WE COULD USE YOUR HELP
We set up a Kickstarter campaign to help cover some of the costs of making this album AND to give those of you who have stood by us a chance to be involved.
By donating $10 or more you will get the first download of the new album + exclusive updates, first listens, and a behind the scenes look at the making of this record at the famous Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, WA.
We are also making backer-exclusive gifts like hand-screened t-shirts, beautiful screen-prints, signed vinyl, and handmade cymbal clocks. These limited edition rewards are available only to Kickstarter supporters.
There are also chances to get to know us more -- personal lessons and songs, letters, unreleased music, and fun packages for the guitarist, drummer, collector and even food lover. There's even a chance to relive Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations with the band or to get a personalized guitar.
THE GOAL
Our goal of $7500 covers less than 1/3rd of our actual recording costs. Anything over our goal will be an immense help in funding this record, paying for the studio and engineer, covering mixing, travel costs, and helping us fix our gear. If we do cover all the recording costs, any extra funds will go towards finally escaping the clutches of our financially destructive van curse!
THANK YOU (XIE-XIE)
To everyone who has come to our shows or bought any merch -- you've already been instrumental in helping us save some money to help pay for this project.
To all our fans, thank you for believing in us, some of you for a long time.
Thank you for still appreciating the passion and work of independent musicians.
Thank you for still liking music loud. We love you. Let's make this record!
xoxo,
Lauren, Rachel, and Eric

I first got reminded of Nirvana when I heard about you guys and looked you up. What makes it different is you're still alive and rocking along in my world!
