About Me

We're roving up and down the West Coast this summer! The first leg of our trip is with our friends the band Painted Cakes. We're playing with lots of other neat bands along the way. Click on the shows listed above for details.
Our first record, THICKETS & STITCHES, is out now:
On CD & VINYL from Galaxia /from itunes

Regardless, it's clear their swaggered ruckus pop channels dead folk musicians galore. Despite the ghostly origins of their handle, the Mumlers' live appearances tend to turn into lively celebrations, with the outfit dancing about the stage. Their repertoire of instruments rivals any philharmonic's and includes guitars, drums, upright bass, various keyboards, euphonium, French horn, trumpet, clarinet, tambourine, pedal steel, and recently, eagle whistles from Mexico." -San Francisco Bay Guardian
"The loving work of kids chasing pure soul with whatever tools are at hand." -jambase.com
