Interestingly, this album didn't grab me on first listen. The songs seemed like rambling, forgettable whimsy and failed to make any kind of impression whatsoever. Having previously enjoyed 'Finally We Are No-One' and 'Yesterday Was Dramatic...', this one seemed completely lost on me.
And then one day, it just clicked. The songs that previously seemed so obtusely impenetrable suddenly started to make sense, and with repeated listens, 'Summer Make Good' became not only my favourite múm album but one of my favourite albums ever.
The beauty of 'Summer' lies in its subtlety. It is a grower, that much is certain, but once its hooks have sunk in, it bewitches and intrigues in equal measure.
