Hey Múm! Long time no see, my Icelandic buds! Love your dreamy, intricate, space-chamber- pop-esque compositions. And look, now you're back and about to drop (er, excuse me, carefully set down) a CD of your Peel Session, recorded way back in 2002. On November 14, eh? Via FatCat Records? Great, great. I'm doing well too, thanks for asking! OK, ttyl guys.

Múm Peel Session includes four reworked tracks, pulled from the band's debut release, Yesterday Was Dramatic, Today Is OK, and follow-up, Finally We Are No One, all recorded for the late legendary radio DJ Sir John Peel. It comes in lovely homemade packaging, so buy two.

According to a representative for the band, Múm are about 90% finished recording their latest full-length, will master it in November, and hope to have it ready for May 2007 release.

Múm Peel Session:

01 Scratched Bicycle/Smell Memory
02 Awake on a Train
03 Now There's That Fear Again
04 The Ballad of the Broken String
