Go Go Smear the Poison Ivy is the fourth studio album by múm . It was released via FatCat Records on 24 September 2007.[11] It peaked at number 8 on Billboard ' s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart.[12]
The album marks a shift from the group's original style as it uses more live instruments than electronics, and there is a different vocal style, including male vocals. Almost two years prior to the release of this album, former lead singer of múm, Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir , departed from the band. According to reviews this is believed to be one reason for the break of style compared to earlier releases.[13] [14]
