múm
The Icelandic experimental pop group múm is known for its curiosity-driven explorations
in electronic music, blending soft vocals, glitch beats, innovative sampling, and eerie
effects with a variety of traditional and unconventional instruments. Formed in 1997 by
founding members Gunnar Örn Tynes and Örvar Smárason, the group was soon joined by
twin sisters Kristín Anna and Gyða Valtýsdóttir.
Over their career, múm has released six full-length albums, as well as numerous singles,
EPs, and collaborations, alongside music for theater and film. The band has become well-
known for its collaborations, working with a diverse range of artists, including Kylie
Minogue, the Kronos Quartet, Jóhann Jóhannsson, pianist Hauschka, and the MDR
Symphony Orchestra in Leipzig.
