History of Silence

múm

A fragile return after twelve years. Submerged melodies and clockwork rhythms create a dusty, intimate world of Icelandic indietronica.

A quiet, weathered beauty that feels like rediscovering an old friend in a cold climate.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the percussion on 'Miss You Dance' sounds like a clock mechanism slowly seizing up.
The sudden clarity of the cello melody that emerges from the digital haze in 'Avignon'.
The hauntingly close-mic'd vocal intake of breath that opens 'Only Songbirds Have a Sweet Tooth'.

Snowfall+1.4σ

Snowfall saturates this record notably more than the artist's norm.
