múm November 9, 2007 - Church of St. Paul - Lossless Download
Posted by nyctaper - 10/11/07 at 06:11 pm
múm resurrected their old magic in the Church of St. Paul last night. The newest version of múm debuted at the Sugarcubes Reunion almost exactly a year ago. After the departure of founding member Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir (now Kría Brekkan) , the 2006 performance was an awkward set of entirely new material, and the new múm seemed to be exploring less interesting musical approaches. Following a year of maturity, and the release of an excellent new album Go Go Smear the Poison Ivy
An interesting footnote to last night’s concert. Near the end of the first encore, a curious tall thin dark-haired woman in a large overcoat approached my microphone stand and watched the concert for a short while. After a few brief minutes, I realized that she was Kristin Valtýsdóttir, and when the woman left to the rear of the venue, a shocked múm crew member noticed her and the two embraced at length. She left shortly thereafter.
Many thanks to Gunni for permission to record. I set up very close the PA speakers to avoid the echo and boomy nature of recording inside of an old church. The PA system was plagued with a noticeable hiss and buzz, and those noises do mar the quiet moments of this recording. When the music is louder, you can not notice the noise. Enjoy!
My recording of last year’s debut múm performance is available (here).
