New single out soon from Múm!

The A-side "Toothwheels" starts off with echoes of their millenium-era rhythms, which morph into shadows (reminiscent of their foggy masterpiece 'Summer Make Good'). Flourishing strings and teeming arpeggios elevate the track, that spins along in a cyclical motion before it is being washed away in a...

Shelves (Singapore)

Shelves started out as a project by seasoned musicians from the local music scene. Members Noel Yeo, Brian Leery and Robin Chua have belonged to a number of well-regarded and well-loved bands such as Livonia, Suchness and Leeson but have never performed together as a collective until Shelves was formed. However once their first gigs and album were through, there was no looking back. With their debut album released in early 2012 and receiving high praise, it is plain to see that their brand of power pop is making waves. Guitarist Daryl Peh joined in 2013 to complete the current lineup.

Wavves (United States)

Named for his fear of the ocean, Wavves, the skuzzy project of San Diego slacker Nathan Williams, is a blend of distorted lo-fi and refined sunshiny melodies. Wavves was conceived just after Williams, at age 21, quit his job and turned on a four-track recorder in his parents’ tool shed and ended making the oddest, noisiest, and downright catchiest rock in recent years.

They released their first album the same year and were highly praised by Pitchfork media. Much of the production was humble and hands-on, with Williams doing all the cover art and making music in the unlikeliest of ways. Characterised by punchy vocal hooks and pounding drumbeats, their high energy playing and stoner aesthetic are effortlessly, unconsciously hip. Their sound proudly captures the essence of California in all its sunny surfer glory.

With their second album produced by Grammy-winning Dennis Herring, ‘King of the Beach’ became their defining album. It earned rave reviews from Pitchfork, Spin and Rolling Stone. After an extensive world tour, Wavves returned to Los Angeles to record their latest album. Fans will be delighted with their new album which remains true, composed of tight tracks and sp***y lyrics with a dash of influence from the Nineties.

Múm (Iceland)

Múm (pronounced [muːm], “moom”) was originally formed by Gunnar Örn Tynes and Örvar Þóreyjarson Smárason. Starting out in 1997, this experimental Icelandic band crafts music that resonates with grace and a child-like innocence. Over the last sixteen years, the band’s line-up has been in a constant state of flux, involving 15-20 new members at different times. Fusing electronic and acoustic instrumentation, their characteristically lo-fi sound is at times catchy, upbeat pop and at others, almost ethereal. Their debut album ‘Yesterday Was Dramatic, Today is OK’ was much celebrated, garnering praise from the press and charting in the UK top ten. Their songs are elegantly textured and are never belaboured in their efforts to produce music that is as listenable as they are sonically complex. The group’s celebrated debut album 'Yesterday Was Dramatic, Today Is OK' in 2000 gained a wealth of glowing press from over 40 magazines and charted in the top ten of the year in the UK. They have continued over the last decade, releasing another five studio albums and doing countless world tours with spectacular set ups. As distinctive in their own way as Iceland’s homegrown Bjork and Sigur Ros, múm have never walked the well-trodden path.
