The Opposite Of Hallelujah – Jens Lekman After the success of 'Your Arms Around Me' it really comes as no surprise that Jens Lekman has released an album full of nicely polished pop gems. The lyrics can occasionally get a little awkward, but this is always made up for in pure sweetness. 123456 (Pardon Us) – Aleks and The Ramps Speaking of lyrics, this song has some rather interesting ones. I bought Aleks and The Rams' debut album on the back of some rather impressive reviews and I [...]
Rather peculiar sounds from Iceland, Múm have ventured towards another path of experimentation after losing one of its members Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir (she also appears as one of the twins in Belle And Sebastian's 2000 album art for Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant). The title of the new piece in three years by Múm, is: Go Go Smear the Poison Ivy , and bizarre but beautiful as their music goes, they smoothly and strikingly integrate orchestral and electronic sounds together in the sense of audacious clatter of noise and [...]
Múm - "They Made Frogs Smoke Til They Exploded" The new album "Go Go Smear the Poison Ivy" is out today on FatCat Records.

Trying to write things is distracting when you have the telly on. For instance, MTV2 just played Múm's latest video 'They Made Frogs Smoke 'Til They Exploded'. I remember múm being too out-there for my tastes but the last time I remember them having new material I liked Hard-Fi at ...
Blood spewing squirrels with fangs? Ripping the head off a paper cat? A leaf spewing kid? The latest video from Iceland's Mum is one hell of a trip. As expected, the music is amazing, driven by beats that sound like the banging of pots and pans from the kitchen. The track comes from their upcoming new album, Go Go Smear The Poison Ivy , which will hit stores in the US on September 25 via FatCat. "They Made Frogs Smoke Til They Exploded" [...]

Atmosfere indie-pop rarefatte, elettronica soft e cori di bambini. Niente di nuovo per gli islandesi Múm e per il nuovo singolo They Made Frogs Smoke Til They Explode . Date però un'occhiata allo video in stop-motion : macabro e psichedelico allo stesso punto ma sempre e comunque delizioso .
