专辑介绍

此张专辑中的全部歌曲都在一个四面环海的灯塔中创作，已不象他们早期的专辑那么天真自得，而是更多的黑暗色彩，编曲的结构也从原来的随心所欲，转变成现在很符合国际化的清晰模式。对于这样一张不乏理念、不乏技术、不乏变化、不乏浪漫噱头的唱片，它不是玩法的胜利？难道是商业的胜利？之所以有这么多人把周杰伦当天才崇拜、把王菲当国际巨星期待，是因为大家并不很了解在冰岛有这么支擅玩多种真乐器（鼓、吉他、手风琴、弦乐器、管乐器、古筝）、且懂乐理、掌握录音、混音、软件技术的少年乐队——múm乐队在探索新风格与整体性的一次尝试，与上一张的在极昼中体验到的恬静悠远不同，这此乐队更象是在极夜的海面上进行了一次充满风雨的航行。这两极在这个高纬度国家永不停息的交替，正如这几个淳朴乐观年青人在音乐中展现出来的一般。无论是轻松惬意或是紧张失措，都如那里的海洋一样清澈透明。倾听múm，就如同被一双温柔的手牵引，远离人类文明的喧嚣，在一片明净的海域，深水下潜50米。

After the pastoral pop of Finally We Are No One, Múm returned with Summer Make Good, which continues the more organic-sounding trend of the group's previous album, but with a darker and more theatrical feel than any of their other work. &Hú Hviss - A Ship& lasts scarcely more than a minute, but it signals the rest of the album's spooky beauty with a soundscape of wind, creaking wood, and what might as well be whale songs. The album has a sense of drama that is a welcome addition to Múm's sound, especially on &Weeping Rock, Rock,& a slow-building epic that makes the most of the electronic-meets-symphonic sound that the band has forged since Yesterday Was Dramatic -- Today Is OK. The song's brass, powerful but intricate drums, and focus on Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir's distinctive, childlike voice won't diminish the comparisons between Múm and Björk, especially since Múm has made vocals a bigger part of their music with each release. However, Múm's music is more organic and delicate than Björk's is, and Valtýsdóttir's voice is far more ethereal and diffuse. Indeed, her singing is so delicate that the group's decision to emphasize it doesn't always lead to immediately compelling results. That's not to say tracks such as &The Ghosts You Draw on My Back& aren't lovely, but instrumental pieces like the Broadcast-esque &Away& and &Stir,& which sounds like eddies of wind chasing each other, tend to be more arresting on first listen. The songs that use Valtýsdóttir's voice as another instrument, including the return to Yesterday Was Dramatic -- Today Is OK-style electronica of &Sing Me Out the Window,& also work well. Summer Make Good's melancholy lifts a bit in the middle of the album on the angel-spun &The Islands of the Childrens Children,& a gorgeous song that takes the joyful feeling of Finally We Are No One and multiplies it by ten. It makes the song an even sharper contrast to the rest of the album's gentle sadness, which peaks on &Oh, How the Boat Drifts& and the eerily lovely &Will the Summer Make Good for All of Our Sins?& Summer Make Good may be Múm's quietest and most impressionistic album yet; what they're able to do with silence and near-silence is impressive, particularly on the serene, softly rounded &Nightly Cares& and &Abandoned Ship Bells,& which drifts the album to a close. Its quietness and moodiness make Summer Make Good Múm's most demanding album, but also, fortunately, a rewarding one too.
