Mus

"a soundtrack to dreams of dark splendour" - Melody Bar

"Easily one of the most beautiful albums that I've heard this year, if not ever, Mus' self-titled CD, which culls tracks from their 1997 and 1998 EPs and adds a few new ones as well, has hardly left my CD player lately... It's different, powerful, and absolutely beautiful. Ah, how to describe Mus? Somewhere between electronic music, ambient quietness, the orchestrated wonders of Godspeed You Black Emperor, the loungy dub of Portishead, the playful electronic sounds of Bjork, the quirky spaceyness of Stereolab, and the score to a musical lies this music. The band uses both synthetic and organic instruments, combining beats with keyboards and samples to create lush and sometimes haunting soundscapes... I love this album. Whether the band is playing short and haunting melodic works or lengthy, swirling epics, each song is unique and beautiful in its own right. These songs blow me away with their depth and texture, their haunting melodies and imaginative experimentalism. Fans of! beautiful and powerful songs could do no better than to seek out Mus." -Adequacy.net
