El sitio de la revista Rolling Stone informó el día de ayer que la banda islandesa Múm visitará México el próximo abril para dar dos conciertos como parte de la gira de promoción de su nuevo álbum Sing Along to Songs You Don`t Know . El primer show del grupo será el 16 de abril en el Vive Cuervo Salón de la Ciudad de México, mientras que un día después se presentarán en Guadalajara, en un lugar todavía por confirmar. En cuanto a los boletos, todavía no hay [...]
The album exists in a perpetual winter, evoking the awe of beholding snow-capped mountains for the first time. Swelling strings, delicately picked classical guitars, and jovial glockenspiel loops lie atop a foundation of shuffling beats produced both acoustically and electronically. Their multi-tracked harmonies could be easily mistaken for door-to-door carolers fiending for a fix of figgy pudding.
by joel chaffee (photo by hörður sveinsson) The titles of Múm's last two releases are indicative of the band's sound and intent. Both are invitations. 2007's Go Go Smear the Poison Ivy was, though not widely recognized as such, a return to the wonder and satisfaction of 2002's Finally We Are No One ; while the band's latest, Sing Along To Songs You Don't Know, steps furthest away from Múm's unique ability to make time - music - stand [...]
Lo so che è giovedì sera e per molti di voi sta già cominciando il weekend. Ma molti lettori di Soundsblog, me compreso, hanno bisogno ancora di un giorno (e una notte) di relax prima di entrare in clima da fine settimana. E questa canzone, e insieme questo "strano" video, sono la colonna sonora giusta per questo tipo di serata. Si tratta del gruppo islandese dei múm , che sono da poco ritornati sulle scene con un nuovo album intitolato "Sing Along to Songs You Don't Know". La ricetta è sempre la stessa: elettronica soffusa e pop [...]
Los chicos de Múm se encuentran promocionando Sing Along To Songs You Don`t Know , su más reciente producción editada el pasado agosto a través de Euphono. El nuevo sencillo de esta producción es el tema "Sing Along" , del que recién estrenaron un agridulce vídeo promocional. Protagonizado por un venado, este fue dirigido por Kevin Philips y contiene mariposas, bailes ridículos, fuego, disfraces y un tono sumamente melancólico, además de momentos muy lindos y otros un poco crueles. En fin, un vídeo interesante. [...]

Photography by Nina K. Sundberg Oh man.... I'm so tired. Riding in, my legs were crying with every pedal, but that's fine and ultimately I had a wet, achy, but good ride in. I sit down to get to work and I can barely keep my eyes open today! Oof. Well, fortunately, today is my "Friday" as we have tomorrow off for Canada Day U.S. Independence Day! WOOT! Should be a nice three day weekend. Plans? Well, I have a [...]

Remember when you first heard Múm and there was that trial period where you knew the music was pretty interesting but you weren't sure if you could deal with that creepy voice? Well, turns out that banshee was holding up her share of the framework, because two albums after the departure of Kria Brekkan and a few other early players, the group is only a toy-piano solo away from becoming a total caricature of themselves. The up-coming fifth album Sing Along to Song You Don't Know , is so saccharine that [...]
