Little Trip

On the heels of Mugison's critically acclaimed U.S. debut, Mugimama, Is This Monkey Music?, Ipecac Recordings presents Little Trip. Mugison's second foray into the world of scoring and soundtracks, Little Trip, part score and part soundtrack, accompanies heralded Icelandic director Baltasar Kormakur's film of the same name starring Forest Whitaker, Julia Stiles and Jeremy Renner in a noirish thriller. The film has set tongues wagging worldwide as it set out on the film festival circuit with reviewers often commenting on the bleak, gritty realism of the visual juxtaposed with the warm, near twangy score and soundtrack provided by Mugison.

Recorded at Sigur Ros' Reykjavik recording studio Sundlaughin (swimming pool), Little Trip features 17-songs/pieces including rockers like "Pétur Grétarsson", a swooning cover of Tom Waits classic song "Little Trip To Heaven" and a live version of "Mugimama's Murr Murr". Not a stranger to the importance of sound in a cinematic context, Mugison also scored the 2004 film Niceland.
