Reviews.
Here are some excerpts from some of the amazingly positive reviews that the new album, Sing Along to Songs You Don’t Know, in the english language at least. We are thankful and happy:
“arguably a career peak.” **** Mojo Magazine
“múm have produced an innately beautiful record, again proving that experimental songwriting is far from dead.” 8/10 Clash magazine
“Sing Along to Songs You Don’t Know may be the prettiest record this Icelandic outfit has yet recorded.” 8/10 Rock Sound Magazine
“Iceland’s dreamscapists fifth album delivers discreetly dark magic. Strangeness and charm colour their twinkling, lo-fi sounds and haunting melodies: they sculpt worlds of their own. But a sense of danger shades the album, innocence and experience suspended in often spell-binding balance.” **** the Independent
“The listening experience evokes a pleasurable sadness that soothes and disorientates.” **** the Times
” Effortlessly blending haunting harmonies with electronica, percussion, strings, piano and even parakeets chirping, the collective has produced a richer and more accesible album than previous efforts. Aglow with creative energy and eccentricity, this is beautiful stuff” the Observer
“ Sing Along to Songs You Don’t Know, the fifth studio album from Iceland’s Múm, is one of those affairs where the gentle opening seconds and closing piano keys seem designed to create a never-ending loop: set your stereo to repeat and it could be days before you change the record.” BBC
“Their masterstroke is to offset the the “difficult” percussion with lush, vocal harmonies and dreamy folk pastoralism. The result is a delicate, but compelling balance of rough and smooth” *** Q Magazine
” This album is a glorious celebration of everything that makes a band such as this so consistently musically invigorating and interesting.” 4/5 Subba-Cultcha.com
“It’s a sweet hotpot of of northern European record-making.” *** the Guardian
” Can you hear that? It is the sound of musical genius at work, because this is a pretty stunning piece of work from the Icelandic band. This an album that continually grows on you and gives up something new on every listen. This is music to get lost in. ” 5/5 The Music Critic www.themusiccritic.co.uk
“Sing Along marks múm’s ascension from hippy outsiders to pop starlets. Loverly, loverly stuff.” Kruger Magazine
“Charmingly (and sometimes chillingly) child-like.” *** Uncut Magazine
“It is the perfect experimental pop album for sunny Autumn days. Múm remain as charmingly hatstand and delicious as before.” www.wasistdas.co.uk
“Excellent and dreamy.” ***1/2 the Epoch Times
“A bit silly they may be, but múm remain the finest kitchen-sink minstrels this side of the 14th Century.” the Quietus

It makes me feel like a kid again; a simple kid with the world at my fingertips, ready to take in every moment. Please don't stop what you're doing, or I might just die of sadness.
