Mum Release Only Songbirds Have a Sweet Tooth

While there is a lot of music that hits me with its immediacy and boldness, I’m also always inclined to delve into the spaces in-between, like the track that dropped yesterday from Iceland’s Mum. Musically, there’s a bubbling buoyancy burrowing beneath, but it never entirely rises to the top of the song, leaving tons of negative space for the song to weave the alternating vocals between the lines. Each space, while feeling light, also has this omnipresence that allows you just sink deep into the track, and for that I’m grateful. They release their new album, History of Silence, on September 19th.
