Reviews & Discussion

Review by Alastis Apr 08, 2005 (edited over 7 years ago)
As a lot of reviewers mention, there's a sense of childishness reflected in Mum's music and this album in particular. But its hard compare it to Boards of Canada sense of childishness - whereas BoC are about large sound, Mum are about more intimacy with the listener (not to say that BoC are bad). Songs on this album are tied to all sorts of moods - from sadness to quiet reflection. With the help of traditional Icelandic and various instruments, this band creates a very special package in "Yesterday was Dramatic...". Despite not being very well-known in America, i'm sure that "Yesterday was dramatic..." will be remembered as one the best nonconventional electronic records ever done.
