Mum, pronounced moom, is an experimental music group formed in Iceland in 1997. They make music from seemingly disparate means, combining sparse electronic beats, effects, and samples with a variety of traditional instrumentation, including accordions, pianos, and violins. While they aren't necessarily producers of electronic music, they are nonetheless also recognized for their remixing skills.
