There’s no denying that ‘Light a Match and Burn It Slowly’ is full of finely-crafted, emotive folk-tinged pop.

There’s something about the act of hearing these sounds that imbues them with life.

Part of me is thrilled to hear an album this brilliantly bitter.

All 5 of the CD’s songs move at a pace that would make “glacial” seem hasty.

As lovely as Atone’s sounds are, there’s a sense that the songs lack a real focus.

The most emotional and affecting Pan-American album to date.

It just doesn’t sound as innovative or mind-blowing as it was perhaps intended to be.

Francesconi possesses a preternatural skill for finding unique connections between seemingly disparate sounds.

An elegant, atmospheric album of melancholy, rainy day pop that’s packed with emotion and beauty.

Codename: Dustsucker represents a stunning return to form for the band.

However, it’s very fitting that I Am the Portugese Blues sport one of the older style covers, as in many ways, it’s a regression towards the band’s earlier sound.

When a CD like Summer at Shatter Creek’s Sink or Swim arrives, it feels like a tiny little blessing.

These are haunting ballads that conjure up smoky, rundown LA nightclubs you only see in David Lynch films.

Even with the album’s obvious flaws, Summer Make Good is certainly no reason to write off or dismiss Múm.

Unfortunately, the band’s music doesn’t always live up to the promise in Hut’s voice, though thankfully it succeeds 90% of the time.

A must-hear for any fan of dreamy, lazy day music.

Blissful-yet-bittersweet psychedelic music that is bound to conjure up some childhood memories.

On One, Brian John Mitchell explores drone to its fullest, bathing the listener in huge swaths of pure sonic drifts and tides.

If this does turn out to be the band’s last release, then it is a good note to go out on.
