Free Music Notes for Go Go Smear the Poison Ivy Album
Free Music Review: A break from the norm
Hit: 4 Stars
This is múm'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 múm'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 múm 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.
