Namullim (pronounced Nam-uh-lum) is the alter ego and the creation of Alexander Legaree. Raised about as far north as one can live, Alexander has always been one to stray off the beaten path. From day one, adventure was on his doorstep. Granted, polar bears, igloos and dog sledding weren’t often involved as much as he had wished, but he made do. His whole life has been one big adventure after the next, so, naturally, this sense of adventure would be transposed onto every aspect of his life, including his music. That’s when Namullim was born.

Over the past few years, Namullim has been carefully crafting his sound and is now ready to emerge onto the Canadian music scene with his genre-defying EP, ‘The Summer Song’. In his own humble words, “[...] the EP will prove that I am part of a vibrant music scene North of 60”.

The EP opens with the hard hitting ‘Whatcha’ Gonna’ Do?’. A harpsichord-driven, acid-jazz tinged, R&B song, that Namullim describes as the love child of US R&B super-producer Timbland and the electronic geniuses that are Fischerspooner. So basically, think heavy beats, quirky instrumentation with a generous helping of electronic meshed with Namullim’s Beck-esque vocals.

Second in line, the EP title track, ‘The Summer Song’, an ode to living in the land of the midnight sun. It’s been called “really chilled & relaxed... even sexual” (MySpace Fan)! With the unique combination of hypnotic sweltering bass, entrancing husky vocals and powerful lyrics, “The Summer Song” is bound to turn heads. Comparing this song to any other song would do it no justice, at best, it can be described as ambient R&B.

Next on the docket is a rerecorded and reinterpreted version of Namullim’s 2006 single, ‘Suspicion’. If you thought the old one was scathing, wait until you get a load of this!

The Bolliwood inspired dance track, ‘Fly Moves’ is next. It’s 2 minutes and 52 seconds of pure power-pop, driven by a large (synth) string section and a scorching bass line, that leaves you begging for more. It’s fast moving, high paced and it would be quite at home between Kylie Minogue’s ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’ and Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic’ (Cathy Dennis would be proud).

The final track on the EP takes a new musical mood – ‘Losing Grip’ is a tale of requited love. It breaks our heart even thinking about it.

The EP is set for release in May 2009 preceded by the singles “The Summer Song” (January) and “Watcha’ Gonna’ Do?” (March).
