Following on from 2001's 'Finally We Are No One', the new album, which was written and recorded in two lighthouses in Iceland (in Galtarviti and Gardskagatá) and mixed at Sigúr Ros' now-legendary 'swimming pool,' the indoor natatorium they converted into a studio, is called 'Summer Make Good', it's released on April 12th via Fat Cat Recordings.

Múm: Icelandic Stars Make Good; Tour UK, New LP

wow, i'm very excited about both this tour, and the new album. should be fantastic! it is a shame there is no local date to me though, as i would have certainly expected either a nottingham or birmingham date. i guess i'll have to be rude, and ask a friend of mine for a place to crash in liverpool!
anyone heard the new album or single? is it a progression from the last? x
