MUMMU
When the low frequency noise musicians from the duo SKRAP, joined forces with the punk improvisers from ICH BIN N!NTENDO and started playing heavy amplified drone music, the expression of the band ended up as chaotic musical improvisations, thick walls of distorted sound and transcendental riffs. Their inspiration stems from musicians/composers and bands like Swans, La Monte Young and Pandit Pran Nath.
"Mitt Ferieparadis" is the first out of two 7" singles in Mummus single-series. On December 5th, 2014 they released their second 7" vinyl "En Verden i Forrandring".
Reviews of "Mitt Ferieparadis":
"It is a concise investigation of noisy forms of music—distorted sonic outbursts, powerful rock riffs, edgy lo-fi soundscapes and extreme metal-blasting punchlines."
-All About Jazz, Eyal Hareuveni
"From the sound to the weird, absurdist artwork, it is obvious that Mummu are going for balls out unhinged improvisation, and their attempt is more than successful."
"Insgesamt eine sehr intensive wie abwechslungsreiche 7inch von MUMMU, woran sich aufgrund der sehr diversen Seiten garantiert nicht nur die Geister scheiden – meine bedingte Empfehlung!"
