múm is an Icelandic experimental electronic/folktronica group from Reykjavík, known for delicate, atmospheric arrangements, minimal electronics and whispered vocals across several well-reviewed albums.

Original members include Örvar Þóreyjarson Smárason, Gyða Valtýsdóttir, Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir and Gunnar Örn Tynes (names listed in DeBaser reviews). Gyða Valtýsdóttir left the group in 2002. The band is associated with atmospheric folktronica and has been active since the late 1990s.

DeBaser reviews consistently emphasize múm's Icelandic atmosphere: delicate, minimal electronics blended with folk instruments and whispered vocals. Reviews praise several albums (Finally We Are No One, Summer Make Good, Sing Along To Songs You Don't Know) while sometimes noting a slower, introspective pace. Live reports describe eclectic instrumentation and an occasionally soporific stage presence.

For:Fans of ambient, folktronica, experimental electronic and indie music; listeners who enjoy atmospheric, cinematic soundscapes.

 Poetic Mum! Delicate, ethereal, intangible, and above all fairytale-like.

 I swear it’s all true! All that was missing were Aldo, Giovanni, and Giacomo playing the clothesline!
