The Mumlers
Thickets & Stitches
Galaxia-Platform Records

Toe-tapping goodness from the Galaxia tribe. Hailing from the Bay Area, The Mumlers bring brilliant folkland jazz-bop to light with a Midlake-esque sound that reminds me something akin to Frank Black on a steady diet of Coltrane. There aren’t too many weak tracks on this, their debut album, and my favorite track on this record has to be the body moving song “Shake Your Medication.” The Mumlers love for puritan music is obvious, and their indie ethos has made them great supporting acts for champion bands like Tommy Guerrero and Yo La Tengo.  I look forward to seeing what else this prolific trio creates.   – Kelly D.
