THE REVIEW
In Finally We Are No One, mùm made me dream, like every great group/artist who makes extensive use of computers to create not songs, but illusions, dreams, emotions. I position mùm among the best.
In Finally We Are No One, they left me in an imaginary forest softened by sounds of electronic waterfalls, looking at the sky I saw many suns by day, many moons by night...a fantastic, solitary world where I felt comfortable...
With Summer Make Good, I leave this forest and venture into small cities, also electronic; that sense of liquid that I experienced in their first masterpiece disappears, and I find rougher, grayer sounds...like
abandoned cities....
Okai, I admit this can't be defined as a review, but mùm make me forget the technical details; with them I enter a dream of music.
For those who have not appreciated mùm, or find them...bland...or "nothing special", I ask you to turn off the light in your room, perhaps late at night, and put on headphones with this CD (or even the first one) and then possibly say if they are bland or something similar. In my opinion, mùm create pure poetry. That's all.

Summary by Bot
The review praises Múm’s 'Summer Make Good' as a continuation of their emotive electronic style but with a shift to rougher, urban-inspired sounds compared to their debut. The reviewer describes the music as poetic and immersive. Despite the change in tone, the album still creates a captivating atmosphere. Listeners are encouraged to experience it in a focused, intimate setting.Tracklist Lyrics Videos
múm
múm are an Icelandic group associated in reviews with minimalist electronica, folktronica and indie-pop, known for delicate, whispery vocals and a mix of laptops, experimental sounds and acoustic instruments (often including accordion). Reviews mention the twin sisters Gyða and Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir among the group’s voices, and describe the music as dreamy, fairytale-like and evocative of Icelandic landscapes.12 Reviews

By Tzunami
Icelandic musicians seem to act unbounded by any contamination, resulting in a kind of dadaism and experimentation hard to match.
I imagine sitting by the window of my little house in Reykjavik, watching the snow mixed with rain fall outside, enjoying a cinnamon tea.
By MotoSegaJohn
A shadow has fallen over the fantastic world of Múm, now singing melancholic songs by candlelight, surrounded by great darkness.
This 'Summer Make Good' is a much more personal and intimate album, where haunting memories and delicate stories intertwine.
By hypnosphere boy
Listening seems to see grassy blankets, glaciers, and puddles.
'Summer Make Good' actually sounds sadder and more introspective than previous records.
