Múm - Smilewound
Smilewound requires something of an adjustment of expectations. But don’t get too comfortable; múm’ll undoubtedly throw us for a loop with their next album.»

'Smilewound' marks the next step of one of Iceland's finest electronic pop bands, now sounding more focussed than ever before. For 'Smilewound', charismatic singer and fomer band member Gyoa Valtysdottir returns. Sparser in sound than many of its predecessors, 'Smilewound' is an airy, relaxed record. Musically, Mum's capability to build playful electronic sound-ornaments around simple melodies is in full bloom. And these days they know that trimming the ornamentation can strengthen the melody.
