You don't need to be Freud to regard teeth as a delicate issue. They can make joy look joyous and pain look painfuland on the cover of the new mm album they do both at the same time. As "Yesterday Was Dramatic - Today Is Okay" (2001)"Finally We Are No One" (2002) and "Sing Along To Songs You Don't Know" (2009) "Smilewound" is another example of the band's art of juxtaposing two conflicting meanings and taking advantage of the energy created through the tension between both.

Sparser in sound than many of its predecessors"Smilewound" is an airyrelaxed record. The mm-core-duo of rvar and Gunni doesn't make you laugh out loud (except maybe for the quirky vintage Arcade-sound-start of "When Girls Collide")but it will make you smile often - despite the heavenly voices singing about violence in one form or another in most songs. Musicallymm's capability to build playful electronic sound-ornaments around simple melodies is in full bloom. And these days they know that trimming the ornamentation can strengthen the melody. Take "The Colorful Stabwound": an aguish drum'n'bass piece and"Smilewound" gets close to a straight pop-song. Even that isn't very closebut it combines its rhythmic strength with a simple yet effective piano-line and the soothing lushness of a female voice to something compelling that follows you like the smell of a delicate eau de toilette. Or "Candlestick" which started out as a little ditty strummed on an acoustic guitar many years ago and has grown into this bouncy piece of synth-pop that changes its musical colours every couple of beats until you feel comfortably dizzy. Perfect pop in very fancy clothes. No wonder that antipodean pop-princess Kylie Minogue wanted to collaborate with mm on the "Whistle"the main song in 2012-movie "Jack & Diane".
Recorded inamong other placesthe band's practice-spacean old baltic farmhouse and on the kitchen-table after dinnerthe album was produced by mm themselves. And being the revolving collective they areit comes as no surprise that we see the return of former member Gyda. Defining satellites as part of the core fits nicely with the band's penchant for ambivalence - in fact that's part of the album's charm.
