New Noise are very proud to invite múm from Iceland back to China for 4 specials shows in Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing celebrating 20 years of their groundbreaking album “Yesterday was Dramatic, Today is OK”. The band has widely been praised for being able to take their listeners to a magical musical universe. Since their foundation in 1998 múm have been constantly releasing music simply bursting with gorgeous melody, that relies heavily on electronic sounds and acoustic instrumentation. Their music is characterised by soft vocals, electronic glitch beats, innovative sampling and eerie effects with a variety of traditional and unconventional instruments. Musically, múm’s capability to build playful electronic sound-ornaments around simple melodies is in full bloom, their mesmerising concerts will take you straight on a dream trip to Iceland.

On December 23, 1999, roughly a week before the whole world was destroyed by the Y2K problem, Icelandic electronic band múm released Yesterday was Dramatic Today is OK.

On the evening of that day the band stood outside of a shop on the main street of Reykjavík selling the album to rushing christmas shoppers. But it wasn’t until later, when the album got its second release in 2000 and then the subsequent international release in 2001, that the albums ripples began to be felt.“Sublime and gorgeous” Pitchfork said in their review, calling it “one of the most deeply, purely emotionally affecting albums of the year.” The Guardian called it "passionate and gorged with special talent“ in their 5/5 review. This year sees the 20 year anniversary of this innovative and influential album, with a special vinyl release and a short tour to celebrate.
