Synopsis
A brief travel film shaped as a postcard from Iceland, this video pairs MUM's "Underwater Snow" with a succession of atmospheric views from a November 2013 trip. Rather than following a conventional storyline, it moves through the country's changing spaces and moods, letting the music's fragile piano, airy vocals and electronic textures provide the emotional thread. The result is an impressionistic portrait of Iceland: quiet, spacious and dreamlike, with the song turning a personal travel record into something more evocative and otherworldly.
Factoids & Trivia
- The video is presented as "Feel Good Lost in Iceland," a travel postcard rather than a conventional narrative music video.
- It was filmed during a trip to Iceland in November 2013.
- The production used Canon 60D and Canon 7D cameras, according to the video's Vimeo listing.
- "Underwater Snow" comes from MUM's sixth studio album, "Smilewound," released by Morr Music on September 6, 2013.
- The song is the second track on "Smilewound," and its combination of delicate piano, breathy vocals, drums and glitchy electronic details complements the video's emphasis on landscape and atmosphere.
- The film's use of the track appears to have been a natural match: the music's wintry, weightless character reinforces the impression of Iceland as a vast and almost dreamlike environment.
