MÚM
Real names:
Gyða, Orvar, Kristin Anna & Gunnar
Artist name: múm
The artists from múm are four painfully ordinary kids from a middle class
background like most everybody else in Iceland. They have ordinary names and
look just like everybody else. The girls on the other hand are twins, but
that's not very strange is it? In fact hey are so bland and tame, that they
will most probably dispel the myth that all Icelandic bands are weird. The
only thing that sets them apart from everybody else is that they make
beautiful music; yes - rhythm and believe it or not, melodies. They make
electronic beats and bleeps, and play all kinds of instruments; accordions,
melodica, a glockenspiel, synthesizers and lots, lots more. They don't do
much else,...they don't wear funny hats or say strange things,... they don't
do many drugs, and don't get into a lot of trouble. Apart from writing
songs, they do little else, except maybe a few re-mixes here and there, as
well as just being nice kids. This is experimental POP at its finest.
Although the múm people would never admit it, the tracks on this record are
very clever, and thorough. Both melodies, and sounds, as well as ambient
hall effects gives their music its character.
