This duo, formed by “juggler of sounds” Aivaras Ruzgas and singer Eglė Sirvydytė, faced the light of day in the beginning of 2011. It sometimes seems their biggest prerogative is to distance themselves from the “pop star“ notion as far as possible. They even chose the name which is kind of tricky to memorize and a bit of a pain to find on Google search. Still, mmpsuf couldn't retain their mystique for too long. The interest is growing with two albums Expeditors and Retina under their belt – releases that bloggers in Japan, Australia and Italy are raving about. You can find the band's name on the posters of Lithuania's biggest festivals and best clubs – and the crowd of followers is growing steadily. The music? Well, if you ever tried to pigeonhole Björk, you probably know what a pointless task it is. Like that great Icelandic innovator, mmpsuf defy categorization. An aural equivalent of a fireplace in winter and a refreshing lake in summer – see, we're getting all poetic about it. Indeed, these are sonic soundscapes so lush and fragile we'd recommend switching your phone off – there's a genuine feeling an untimely beep could break this music into pieces. „For beauty, no matter how sad“ is a motto of the band's sophomore album. And that's a good description of Human-un-kind and its video.
