Sounds from Other Worlds

Until a week or so ago I hadn’t heard, or even heard of, múm, an “exper­i­mental Icelandic musical group” who make music I find enorm­ously fas­cin­ating. I’ve just started invest­ig­ating their fairly vast dis­co­graphy (they’ve been active since 1997) and am cur­rently being trans­fixed by the EP Dusk Log. Recently I’ve also been listening a lot to Elegi, Natural Snow Build­ings, and Dopo (their album Blue Lands is avail­able for free from test tube, a “netlabel”), all of whom are well worth invest­ig­ating if you like unusual, evoc­ative, other-​worldly sounds.
