Múm: Sing Along To Songs You Don't Know

two years after the release of their last album, eccentric pop maestros mum return with their fifth album proper, simply named 'sing along to songs you don't know'. a flickering candle of an album, the album is more laid back than mum's recent outings, this time much of the songs revolve around a lightly prepared piano, hammered dulcimer, a string quartet, marimbas, guitars, ukuleles and in the background of a few of the songs one can hear orvar's parent's parakeet singing with the piano. the album was recorded in countless different places in four different countries, although most of it was done in mum's native iceland. on morr music.

Múm - Sing Along To Songs You Don't Know

Review by Abi Bliss
