“Múm quietly, irresistibly, inhabit a no-band's land between the ancient and imminent, the organic and electronic, the head and feet.” —Rolling Stone

Through murmured vocals, eccentric beats, and dreamy effects, the Icelandic folktronica collective Múm (pronounced “moom”) comes to the Walker to create a sonic netherworld where the ethereal joins the electronic. The seven-member Múm achieves its idiosyncratic sound—a glistening chamber pop that is equally eclectic, charming, and mesmerizing— by employing “a melodica, a harmonium, and two PowerBooks, piling sweet textures onto modernist crackles, like Belle and Sebastian at play in a Mac store” (New York Times). Opening the evening are Hildur Gudnadottir of Múm and Sin Fang Bous, which features members of Múm and Sindri Már Sigfússon of the Icelandic band Seabear.
