Free Music Notes for Go Go Smear the Poison IvyFree 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.
Free Music Review: Rad rashes Hit: 4 Stars
The outlandish electronic act re-tightens springs starting to loosen, providing an updated dose of ultra-quirky, yet fascinatingly deep productions whose surface silliness can overshadow so many personalized shades of joyful eccentricity that makes Mum unique.
Free Music Review: Please give me my root canal so I can leave Hit: 2 Stars
Ok, now that I have left the dentist and the root canal is good, but that Mum music just killed me. See, the Dr. uses Mum to put patients to sleep. I thought Sigur Ros and Polyphonic Spree were unbearable...well now I have discovered a new nemesis, Mum. My mum told me not to accept rides from strangers, so I am telling you not to accept music from Mum.
