Icelandic Wunderkinder In Concert

Fashion sense: black sweatshirt, blue sweats
There are very magical and beautiful noises in this world and one of the most impressive is the band Múm from Iceland. For those of you who have not had the opportunity to catch them live or have only a passing awareness of them definitely check out their concert that's been added to justconcerts.com. The Just Concerts website has some wonderful recordings (including Franz Ferdinand and TV On The Radio among others) in glorious high-rez 178kbps. This concert recording (linked above) of Múm live in Toronto this past summer sounds incredible especially if you hook your computer up to the stereo. You can hear Kristin-Anna's graceful voice clearly in all its little girl charm and the music is incredible. A lot more interesting as a recording than I remember from seeing the show live. Its also nice not to have some dimwit yakking beside you as you try to enjoy it. Is it just me or does their new album remind you of Mia Farrow singing on Komeda's Rosemary's Baby theme. Truly darkly beautiful and dynamic this concert, one part lullaby, one part Grimm's fairy tale. Man these kids are talented. Check it out.
