<img class="alignleft" title="Umpire" src="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/umpire.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="141" />Thanks to the wonderfully talented Perth based director Robert Livings we're excited to present the official music video for <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/umpire/">Umpire's</a> latest single '<a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=50&amp;products_id=168">Green Light District</a>'. For the uninitiated, the track marries Umpire’s sprawling indie-rock sounds  and reflective melancholy, providing the instant gratification of  massive sun-drenched melodies and soaring vocals. 'Green Light District' is lifted from Umpire’s forthcoming debut album <em>Now We’re Active</em> out in Australia June 2nd and everywhere else July 14th.

<em>“Umpire’s breezy wide-panned progressive rock – smothered in buttery, reverberating humbucker tone – puts you in a daze ... the full-length is one Ill be sticking on as soon as it drops”</em> – <strong>Rave Magazine on ‘Green Light District’, their Single of the Week</strong>

<em>“Once again we’re blessed with another amazing band brought to us by Hidden Shoal Recordings... the single is upbeat and poppy with a chorus that wails, featuring a guitar line mid-way through the song that would make Sonic Youth bow their heads. If this track is in any way a sign of things to come, then rest assured that when the album hits, it’ll leave fans mesmerized.”</em> – <strong>DOA on ‘Green Light District’</strong>
