Anybody know what happend to the lead singers twin sister that was on the first album? She just seems to have disappeared without a trace.-- The_stuart 04:45, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The large paragraph sourced from allmusic.com needs to be rewritten if it's going to be included.
Here's the link with the original text: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:1ldqoaqalij9
And here's the original text: "Iceland pop experimentalists Múm were formed by Gunnar Örn Tynes, Örvar Þóreyjarson Smárason, and classically trained twin sisters Gyða and Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir. Formed in 1997, the group met while working on a children's play. Smárason found his perception of music changed through hearing Aphex Twin and decided that he would abandon the guitar-based concepts of his prior bands. This was fine and dandy with his bandmates. Following a number of singles and remixes, the full-length Yesterday Was Dramatic -- Today Is OK was released in 2000 through TMT/Thule in Iceland and Tugboat in the U.K. Each of the band's four members was in their late teens when the record was released, hailed for its playful and imaginative use of all things musical and not so musical. 2001 saw the release of Please Smile My Noise Bleed on Morr Music, a compilation of remixes from the likes of Isan and Arovane. A second full-length, Finally We Are No One, was released the following year on FatCat. Gyða left the band to focus on her studies before Múm's third album, Summer Make Good, arrived in spring 2004; the band rounded out the year with the Dusk Log EP."

changed Loksins Erum Við Engin from compilations to albums —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.43.147.157 ( talk • contribs) 11:32, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm just wondering if anyone knows if that's the case, because I can't find anything about it on the Internet... or if they have a new member or members to back them up at live shows who may later become official members...-- HisSpaceResearch 15:22, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Apparently they are touring next year with the Wordless Music series.
The name of the band is properly rendered "múm" (lowercase). See, for example, their myspace page, their album covers, the press section at múm:web. Pimlottc 05:18, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't this band's genre be described also as dreampop? It seems to fit them perfectly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.26.121.166 ( talk) 05:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
"On August 27th, 2008, múm announced on their official website that "múm is quietly but surely humming in their new album..." - I know that's a direct quote from the site, but it doesn't seem to make sense in English. Those who know the band: is it likely to be deliberately strange, or is it simply an awkward translation from their native language? 86.132.139.119 ( talk) 23:22, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Beck Rainford has been added as a former band member in múm where she alledgedly played cello. While this may very well be true it can't be verified online or even by looking at the thank-you section in the liner notes of Finally We Are No One, Yesterday Was Dramatic – Today Is OK or the bootleg "Friends of the Random Summer". Also the liner notes from Nart Nibbles which is referenced quite heavily from the bootleg have been studied. All lack a reference to to Beck Rainford, Beck or Rainford. It would be expected that her name crept up at least once in any of the liner notes or at the unofficial múm fan website forum, but there are no references. Based on this I think it's quite hard to verify that she actually participated. I'll leave this to be disputed for at least a week, but unless this is done I'll revert the change.

I think this page is missing the album "Asnakjálkar í apabúningum" entirely. Can anyone add any information on that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.52.114.34 ( talk) 17:56, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Múm/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
I rated the article as start-class. It's beyond the level of a stub but definitely needs improvement so I'm gonna add some references instead of external links for a start.-- HisSpaceResearch 12:52, 3 February 2007 (UTC) |
