What the label says:

The first new Múm material in three years, preceding the new album ‘Go Go Smear The Poison Ivy’ marks a return to the playful experimentation of earlier releases. With the departure of Kristin Valtysdottir, the core of mum is once again Gunnar and Orvar, but the band itself is larger than ever counting in all seven people.Eschewing an otherworldly, almost magical aura, Mum make experimental music that is naturally, effortlessly imbued with a pop sensibility.‘They Made Frogs Smoke…’ is the first fruits of their labour to be unveiled, in the bands words “a chirpy song about animal cruelty”, with the b-side, ‘The Amateur Show’ dubbed “a wonky insect-circus instrumental” exclusive to this release.Mum’s new material bridges the gap between their universally acclaimed debut and their more expansive sonically detailed recent output.Sonically warm, gorgeously rich and melodic, the band use an array of instruments (guitar, bass, drums, synths, laptops, cello, accordion, mutated brass etc) alongside electronic bleeps, washes, and beats, blurring the distinction between live band and electronic outfit

About the humble CD single:

Another digital format and even though they can hold 80 minutes of information (like a CD album would) record companies only fill up a small portion of the disc. Sometimes only 1 or 2 tracks on there totalling 5 minutes or so. It's like going to a restaurant and getting a plate of food with 2 green beans on and wondering where the rest of your meal is. Sometimes they're lovingly packaged though and when the music is good then you're into a winner. Also you get videos on there sometimes which you can watch on your computer. That is excellent.

'That's just what pop should be like. Loud, fast and very exciting.'
