DESCRIPTION:
Info:
Jennifer Pearl (ex-Lion Fever, Lost Kids) and Christopher Badger (founding member of Grand Elegance) are VUM. Partners in crime, and co-conspirators for this new throbbing noir heartbeat. The two have gone off the road treading a deceptively minimalist path in comparison to the bombastic rock of their other outfits , conjuring an alternate reality where SUICIDE is being led by LINK WRAY in some weird Middle Eastern harem, where a brooding female has appeared, grabbed the mic from the karaoke machine, and hijacked the whole evening into a hypnotizing introversion, her hands beckoning the hashished clientele.

Indeed, their debut EP "Strange Attractor" manages to be the desert, the tropics, and "the streets" all at once. The opening track "Shadow In the Spotlight" is the perfect tour of their distinct disparate mood -- the warm,
somehow reassuring monotony of an analog drum-machine leads us into a shimmering surf-guitar taunt, locking us into a certain anticipatory narcotic paralysis until Jennifer's cool, confident vocal slowly eases in...VUM is the perfect distillation of the two's evolving iconography, and their systematic occult.

Strange Attractor Review by Aaron Aldorisio @ Amoeba Music!

Totally ruling LA noir re-imagining of what the second Suicide record might have sounded like if Polly Jean Harvey fronted the band instead of Alan Vega. Hints of surf guitar bring you back to the west/best coast and give the whole happening a woozy, psychedelic glow. Featuring a former member of Lion Fever and Everlovely Lightningheart, it is extremely limited, this is hands-down the sexiest Living Tape yet! LIMITED TO 100
