Mum October 27, 2007

Mum is an experimental Icelandic musical group whose music is characterized by soft vocals, electronic glitch beats and effects and a variety of traditional and unconventional instruments. The songs of Tom Brosseau, a North Dakota native, touch on, in Brosseau's words, "abandoned buildings, new love, the praireland, being haunted, roaming around, and being thrilled and killed." It is the work of a master storyteller, who draws from such diverse influences as Marty Robbins, Led Zeppelin, Nick Drake, and Billie Holiday. Talkdemonic is Kevin O'Connor playing drums, synths, pianos, programming beats, bass, accordion, banjo, guitar, rhodes, wurlitzer and everything else sounds...and Lisa Molinaro on viola and synths.
