Good show…I was up in the balcony and the space had a nice sound. While I loved Mum for the rainy day feel of their first two albums, the new one is fun and the newer songs were great live. They filled the synagogue up perfectly with happy noise.
On the ride home my gf and I had a long discussion going from how the new Sigur Ros just makes us wish Godspeed You Black Emporer! was still around (are they???) and how it seems that twee has retreated to Iceland. Maybe we can keep it contained there?

The synagogue is a beautiful acoustic space. Just perfect. The speakers sounded a bit intense for some of the songs; we will try the balcony next time.
I was reminded of A Silver Mt Zion, related to Godspeed? I like the recorded works of both those groups, but I was terribly disappointed with Zion's performance at the Black Cat not too long ago. Some combination of the acoustics and rambling nature of their experimental music failed to hold my attention. Mum's exploration in sound were all just the right length, never long enough to make you weary.
