Yesterday Was Dramatic – Today Is OK

múm

A fragile collision of glitchy electronics and childhood instruments. It sounds like a music box recovered from a shipwreck, still playing its dusty melodies.

December 1999 · Hostess Entertainment Unlimited

A fragile, childlike wonder filtered through a lens of adult melancholy and digital static.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition between Asleep on a Train and Awake on a Train where the rhythm shifts from a lullaby to a steady pulse.
The way the accordion wheezes into life on Smell Memory, sounding like a living organism breathing.
The fragile, high-pitched glockenspiel melody that cuts through the static on I'm 9 Today.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
