Hello, everyone! I’ve been really busy with my exams in philosophy lately, and haven’t been able to post much. But is that reason enough for more than one month with no mention of anything Icelandic whatsoever? Hell no!

Múm is an Icelandic band that makes their own brand of electronica. Their music is best described by a reviewer from All Music Guide, who stated that it sounds like “Múm is somehow able to commit the fever dreams of sickly children to tape”. Now, I realize that might not sound so nice, but it is.

They’re amazing in concert, this is a band with lots of bubbling, playful energy and no intention to hide it behind an attempt at being cool. I particularly enjoy their first album, “Finally We Are No One”, here is a little taste of that:

Green Grass Of Tunnel

(I really wish I found a better sound quality for that one)

The full album can be found here

So anyway, I can’t wait for the exams to be over. Philosophy is a very intellectually stimulating subject, but they keep trying to solve life’s mysteries with logic and reason, which is tools I find lacking for the task.

Bah, back to the books.
