The Cedar and Walker Art Center present múm with Sin Fang Bous (at McGuire Theater) SOLD OUT

Thursday, October 29, 2009 - 9:00pm
7:00pm

Two experimental Icelandic pop bands. Since their foundation in 1998, múm (pronounced "moom") have forged a sublimely bright, warm and rich take on electronica, imprinting it with their own unique sound and character. What sets the band apart from so many of their peers is both their strong, playfully haunted melodies, and sorcerous integration of analogue and digital technologies. Playing an assortment of instruments and percussion alongside some crisply programmed electronic washes, beats, dingdongs and beep-beeps as well as found sounds and field recordings, the band’s talent, inventiveness and nose for musical exploration is immediately audible. Sin Fang Bous is the new, eclectic solo project by Sindri Mar Sigfusson, a singer who gained acclaim with the Reykjavik-based pop-folk group Seabear.
