Múm: Summer Made Good

While more than a decade has passed since Icelandic artists the Sugarcubes and Björk began receiving international acclaim for their music, a new movement of young artists has taken root. Crafting beautiful and haunting orchestrations that blur the lines between post-rock, pop and glitch, Sigur Rós and Múm are the latest innovators to blossom from Iceland’s seemingly rich musical community. And while the former have already received critical recognition for their work from the foreign and domestic press, it’s Múm that is now coming into its own. Touring in support of Summer Make Good (Fat Cat), the band’s latest album and follow-up to 2002’s critically acclaimed Finally We Are No One, Múm is currently in the U.S. for a month-long string of live performances. And though these native Icelanders have toured the States before, the cultural differences posed by America’s hyper-driven lifestyle are still somewhat daunting.
