The Midnight Song Part Ii - Music

Mumbly Was A Pop Band That Was Founded In Paris In The Early 90s By Michaël Korchia Who Eventually Started The Band Watoo Watoo A Few Years Later. Initially Mumbly Was Thought Of As A Band That Should Sound In Between The Velvet Underground And 80s Guitar Pop Bands. Yet Quite Soon Michaël’s Goal Was To Write A Perfect Pop Song & To Try To Be As Good As Felt At Least Once In A Lifetime. After Various Band Members Changes The Band Stabilized Around Michaël Who Played The Bass & Wrote Half Of The Songs & Aurore Bacmann & Pierre Boucher De Crevecoeur Who Both Played Guitar Sung & Started Writing Songs. Aurore Was Deeply Influenced By Heavenly’s Amelia Fletcher Vocals & Writing While Pierre Was More Interested In The Smiths & Britpop. The Band Released Its First And Only Album On The German Label Marsh Marigold In December 1997. “Being Ernest” Was On Ode To Ernie & Bert From Sesame Street. The Album Was Full Of References To Felt Lyrically & And Musically Speaking. A Few Other Songs Sounded Quite Like The Feelies. The Band Started Recording New Songs A Few Months After The Release Of The CD. However Soon Too Much Work & New Jobs Took Michaël To Bordeaux & Aurore To Jena Which Made It Difficult To Rehearse. The Recordings Slept In Michaël’s Many Computers Until September 2013 When He Decided To Put The Final Touch To Mumblybule Ep Released By Dufflecoat Records Which Is A French Pun Quite Impossible To Translate. It Took 15 Years Between The Time The First Drums Tracks Were Laid Until The Final Mix Was Done – Well Worth The Wait Considering The Jangly Fast & Bouncing Songs In This CD. One Of The Songs Is A Cover Of The Australian Indiepop Band The Cat’s Miaow That Should Have Been On A Tribute Compilation That Never Saw The Light. Other Songs Include An Indiepop-Folk Tune Written By A Previous Member & Songs By Michaël & Aurore That Show Well & Go Beyond Their References. Most Of Mumbly Members Wore Glasses & Held A Doctorate. Bands That Had An Influence On Mumbly Felt The Feelies The Velvet Underground The Smiths Heavenly & Talulah Gosh The Field Mice Belle & Sebastian… From L To R Pierre Gtr & Vcls
