Namullim (pronounced Nam-uh-lum). Raised in both Iqaluit (Nunavut) and Yellowknife (Northwest Territories), Namullim has always been one to stray off the beaten path. From day one, adventure was always on his doorstep. Granted, polar bears, igloos and dog sledding weren't often involved as much as he had wished, but he made do in any case. His whole life has been one big adventure after the next, so, naturally, this sense of adventure would be transposed onto every aspect of his life, including his musical creations. That's when Namullim was born.

Over the past few years, Namullim has been carefully crafting his sound and the three tracks included on his latest demo CD represent what Namullim does best; quirky indie-pop with a twist.

The CD opens with ‘The Summer Song’, an ode to living in the land of the midnight sun. The track has been called “really chilled & relaxed. even sexual” (MySpace Fan). With the unique combination of hypnotic sweltering bass, entrancing husky (no pun intended, see the reference to 'dog sledding') vocals and powerful lyrics, the demo alone has been turning heads. Comparing this song to any other song would do it no justice, at best, it can be described ambient R&B.

Set in a minor key, somewhere between the exotic Bollywood strings of 'Toxic' and the high-tempo synth drums of Gnarls Barkley’s 'Gone Daddy Gone' you will find Namullim’s 'Fly Moves'. Moving close to the speed of light, this blistering dance track would easily find itself at home onsome of Canada’s hottest dance floors. In a searing 2:53, the track is done leaving you begging for more.

Finally, 'Whatcha' Gonna' Do?', a harpsichord-driven, acid-jazz tinged, R&B song, thatis like the love child of US R&B super-producer Timbaland and electro-geniuses Goldfrapp. So basically, think heavy beats, quirky instrumentation with a generous helping ofelectronic meshed with Namullim's layered Beck-esque vocals.
