Múm formed in Reykjavík in 1997, founded by Gunnar Örn Tynes and Örvar Smárason and soon joined by twin sisters Gyða and Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir. What they built was a mix of glitch electronics, household sounds recorded and chopped into microbeats, music boxes and toy pianos and glockenspiel arranged with painstaking care.
