Release Notes:
Just as Flight of the Conchords have to live with the mantle of being
"New Zealand's fourth most popular folk-parody duo", m·m have to carry
the burden of being Iceland's third most popular experimental rock act.
And while, in lighter moments, the collective might sound like they're
auditioning to soundtrack a romantic montage in the next quirky Michael
Cera movie, their charm is enough to keep the sick bucket at bay. As if
to prove the point, they manage to open their fifth album with lines
like: "If I were a bumblebee and you were a puddle", without you
wishing spontaneous combustion upon your stereo. Sing Along ... dips
between contemporary reference points like Devendra Banhart and, at one
point, Goldfrapp - and it's perhaps reflective of the ephemeral nature
of the m·m's lineup (only two original members remain) that the album
can easily switch between dreamy pop, glitchy electronica and twee
melancholy. It's a sweet hotpot of northern European record-making.
