múm's playful approach to folktronica is already a solid staple among its contemporary experimental artists, regardless of this Icelandic group's changing members or branching out styles. Upon first listen the album defied my expectations. But then again, I couldn't pinpoint exactly what I awaited to hear. Through the fourth rotation, I was already familiar with the toytronic treatment and the lo-fi acoustic melodies, and started concentrating on the elaborated details of the individual tracks. And one by one (as with all múm's previous releases) the ratings started climbing - from three to four; from four to five. Bottom line is that múm delivers beyond deliverable expectations and leaves one more than satisfied with this addition to their already celebrated discography. Recommended for that múm feeling.
