TechnicolorGreenEyes Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Natalia Lafourcade. Beirut :nice: Phoenix haha. Muse:P Keep this out of my thread please ^^ It's pointles having this thread if people just post a band name. ------------ My new discovery is Múm, they aren't exactly a new unheard of band which is what makes them perfect for me to show what I meant for this thread to be, much like in my first post where I explained a bit about the band and even linked to some music. I found Múm (pronounced "moom") when talking to one of my friends, they are Icelandic which naturally draws comparisons to Sigur Rós and I can see the comparison...slightly. Múm are a much more upbeat kind of band, not that they are really happy, merely that they are less despondent than Sigur Rós I find them much more accessible than Sigur Rós as well, as much as I appreciate their musical genius I just find them hard to actually sit and listen to Múm don't have this problem, they also incorporate a lot more "happy" sounding instruments and synths into the songs, makes for a great listening experience. I'd strongly suggest listening to their album "Go Go Smear The Poison Ivy" the current stand out song for me is "Dancing Behind My Eyelids" [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAZtT_hE13o]YouTube - Dancing Behind My Eyelids[/ame] Hopefully this sets an example for what I actually want people to do in this thread.

They are really cool live and very nice! I kinda discovered them also but it's more this song that I can't seem to get out my head at all. I haven't checked out their albums at all though.
