Múm - Summer Make Good [2004]

Genre: Electronica, IDM, Ambient, Post-Rock

MySpace: múmtheband

My opinion & thought: Iceland produce tons of great musicians, such as Bjork, Sigur Ros & Múm. This is a masterpiece of mixtures of electronica, ambient and post-rock music and it sounds just so comforting.

Stands out track(s): Weeping Rock, Rock

múm (pronounced [muːm], "moom") are an experimental Icelandic musical group whose music is characterized by soft vocals, electronic glitch beats and effects, and a variety of traditional and unconventional instruments. They are known for their concise, condensed remixes of songs.

Summer Make Good is an album by the Icelandic group Múm. It was released on the Fat Cat label in 2004.

On 28 June 2004, a "Limited Presentation Edition" of the album was released (FATCD26B): a hardcover book (with dust jacket) containing the artwork, with the CD slotted into the inside back cover.
