Mumm-Ra’s the Word (haha)
Mumm-Ra is a young UK-based band with an indie-pop sound and gentle cleverness behind their aesthetic. And their new album, These Things Move in Threes, comes out in the UK and US later this month.
How does a grey town and a grocery giant transform into an echanted view of the world? And how can you sample some Mumm-Ra tunes?
“The songs were an expression of the effects our surroundings had on our imaginations. We inhabit a little town called Bexhill-on-Sea, a once thriving Victorian resort on the South Coast of England that has long since slid into a small, grey existence where the elderly inexplicably congregate. But it is, if you look around, an intriguing place and as youngsters eager not to slide effortlessly into the boredom we saw all around us, we found that all we needed was some imagination.Looking around we saw the same beauty in the greys of the concrete that we saw in the sea. The uninspiring was, to us, an inspiration. Here the duck-pond was an oasis. Here long walks were an adventure. Great reward could be found in a simple cup of tea and Tesco was not a multi-billion pound corporation; it was the generous provider of sugary-based delights.”
