Wonder what Mum have been up to over the past few years? Well from the sound of this new 10" entitled 'Prophecies and Reversed Memories" they are singing extremely happy little ditties overloaded by xylophones and twinkly noises. Its a nice tune, a bit like a baby Stereolab. It motors along nicely with some fine vocals and interesting beats. Much better than I was expecting actually as I was never really too much of a fan. A lot of chanting vocals on this EP which would either make you want to punch them or single along. B side sounds a bit like some of the more strung out Animal Collective stuff. On Morr Music.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
Limited to 1000 copies worldwide !
In conjunction with Múm's fifth album, Morr Music releases 'Prophecies & Reversed Memories': A 10inch, that contains one album track and two songs excluisive to this release. These 3 songs pefectly show the variety of Múm's music. Prophecies... has a naive and overly sweet chorus, that gets more and more euphoric in its repetition, while Amen Flutes turns out as an eccentric and strange popsong once it has built up from a glorious mess of sounds. & 'Krippling' shows the band's adult side. A heartwarming ballad: careful and fragile.
