"Mum are certainly experts when it comes to making melodic music with sounds that are unheard of yet sounding somewhat familiar. Dusk Log is an EP that, with only 4 songs, can send you floating to an enchanting world of fun and make-belief. This album sounds very familiar to Mums first album "Yesterday Was Dramatic, Today is OK", in that being it is more of a lighter and playful album as oppose to their latest full length album "Summer Make Good", which is dark and ghostly. Below are my song reviews:



1) "Kostrzyn" is a wonderful opener and sounds like your at a party during the Renassance era and dancing around the fire being drunk with friends. Very celtic sounding. Superb!



2) "This Nothing in the Faraway" is by far the BEST SONG on the album! With its warm sounding beats and fading in and out vocals makes you feel like your daydreaming in a bubbble, floating. Truly amazing and well put together.



3) "Will The Summer Make Good For All of Our Sins" which is lifted from their "Summer Make Good" album, gives the album a haunting twist and leaves the listener in a daze. The song is very spooky and sounds like the last lullaby to a dying monster baby.. truly unique and very good!



4) "Boots of Fog", the last song on the album, is like the calm after "Will the Summer Make Good.." . It sounds like your floating down a river on a raft made of logs.. as day fades and night begins.. we come to a wonderful close of the album. Very nice end!"

"This little EP has convinced me not to give up on this band yet. Although still heavier on instrumentals than YWDTIOK and FWANO, the new music on this EB manages to do a far better job of integrating these instrumentals into the group's traditional brilliant song conmstructs. It's also considerably more sparing in its reliance on the female vocalist, also in keeping with their previous work. Track 3, which we know from Summer Make Good, even sounds better within the context of this new music than it does in their disastrous previous album. All in all, I'm quite impressed, and will be eagerly awaiting Mum's next full release; hopefully it'll be more of this rather than a continuation of direction the band took with Summer Make Good."
