Mumbly - mumblybule (Dufflecoat EP)

Mumbly was a pop band formed in Paris in the early 1990s by Michaël Korchia currently of Watoo Watoo. After releasing an album in the late 90s Mumbly began work on some new tracks... then split up and the tracks have remained unreleased and unfinished until... now! So what do Mumbly sound like? Well quite a classic 90s indie sound with jangly guitars and slightly detached and deadpan vocals. A well tried and well liked classic combination influenced by bands like Heavenly and The Smiths, and so well done here.

"1, 2, i lost you" is urgent and compelling with some lovely guitar work over and in the melody. "Run away" is a joyous jingly pop rush. "Picture of a lost friend" slows things down a lot and is a lot more atmospheric and builds into a superb pop song. "New luc" has a lovely acoustic driven vibe. "Troisième étage" is a twee pop masterpiece. Finally a home demo of "Winter" completes what is a superb EP of classic pop highs that is finally here after 15 years from first tracks to final mix!
