Finally We Are Noone by Mum (pronouced "moom" i think)
Finally We Are Noone - Múm
I feel this has a stronger and simpler sound than my other Múm album (see above). I also have to say that some of the song names are terrific: such as 4. Don't Be Afraid, You Have Just Got Your Eyes Closed, or 11. The Land Between Solar Systems. The music seems to be less pretentious, less (over?)layered, more raw. As above, it makes for good background music, but when you listen into it more deeply, it impresses more than disappoints. However, some tracks still drag along (e.g 9. I Can't Feel My Hand Any More, It's Alright, Sleep Tight), and the sound does sound too bare at times.. the inclusion of some ambient sounds (like sigur ros use) would have been more interesting. I am aware that i'm being picky though. This is a good album, though it drags at times and is sometimes too boring (for me at least). Favourite song: 2. Green Grass of Tunnel.
