Free Music Notes for Go Go Smear the Poison Ivy
Free Music Review: A break from the norm
Hit: 4 Stars
This is m?m's first album without Kristin, who previously had provided the eerie, high-pitched vocals that contributed so much to the band's signature icy sound. Her absence will be sorely missed by any longtime fan.
Honestly, Go Go Smear the Poison Ivy is so different from m?m's past endeavors that it's difficult to say they are still the same band. The remaining members now sing in harmony together, which I admit works well but is very different. The music incorporates heavier instrumentation, and the electronic sounds have digressed far from the typical Moog melody. Nevertheless, these are not necessarily criticisms, and the album is worth a listen if you are a fan.
If you are not already a fan of m?m but want to check them out, I'd suggest starting with their first album, Yesterday Was Dramatic - Today is OK, and working your way up to this one chronologically.
Go Go Smear the Poison Ivy Poster
Beautiful limited CD version is a plastic-free "eco-pak" with custom die-cut cover, and is limited to 7000 copies in North America. The first release in three years from Icelandic collective m?m is a colourful, twitching, playful work of art, full of life-affirming energy. Exuding an otherworldly, almost magical aura, m?m make sonically warm, richly melodic experimental music married effortlessly to a pop sensibility. The band uses an array of instruments (guitars, bass, drums, synths, laptops, cello, accordion, mutated brass, and mouth trumpet, to name a few) alongside crisply-programmed electronic washes, beats and bleeps, blurring the distinction between live band and electronic programming.Alternative Rock Music CDs
