    Particularly striking is the group's ability to mix vast instrumental soundscapes with subtle electronic manipulations, creating a synthesis of analog and digital elements that is visionary in its sonic impact.

    This is a strange, disturbing, unsettling, compelling album.

    Its quietness and moodiness make Summer Make Good Múm's most demanding album, but also, fortunately, a rewarding one too.

    The first few times i listened to summer make good i didn't think it was as good as finally we are no one, but after a few more listens i've grown to like it just as much. Mum once again creates a record of beautiful soundscapes. I don't get how so many music critics love the new sigur ros but didn't like this.… Expand
