“My bubba & Mi er allerede gamle kendinge her i bloggen. Det skal ikke stoppe mig i at slå endnu et slag for pigerne, der har været så søde at sende mig deres EP Wild & You. Bag coveret, der bringer associationer frem om parfumerede pigepoesi og -dagbøger, og den lille bolsjestribede papirpose, gemmer sig fem sange, hvor lytteren føres ind i en meget feminint univers af akustisk musik, der ubesværet bevæger sig mellem folk (“Nothing Much”), søvnig ballade (“Oh kiss no”), slideswingende blues (“Wild & You”), vuggevise (“Good Night Heart”) og croon, som vor forfædre lavede den, “Through & through”. Det er et betagende og forførende musikalsk univers My bubba & Mi har skabt. Og man kan ikke undgå at blive en smule forelsket i deres musiceren, når man først har fået adgang til den.”

Kimi Records took the bull by horns;
Feels good! The air is so fresh and crisp up here! The water so naturally warm. 
In august we will venture around the island, playing shows here, and there - more on that later!
First we must pop those Champagne bottles! Then munch the cake!

Wild & You is now released into the wild in Iceland!

Here is what Timothy Carter wrote about Good Night heart over at The Free Music Revue:

In all my reviews to date, I don’t think I’ve ever been more impressed with a group than I am withMy bubba & Mi. A couple weeks ago, I reviewed a Wesley Willis cover of “Rock N Roll McDonalds” performed by The Shut-Ins. In that review, I mentioned (quite briefly) my love for harmonized vocals. Well, this week might I be the first to present the first ever a capella performance to be reviewed on the Free Music Revue: “Good Night Heart” by My bubba & Mi.

My bubba & Mi is made up of two absurdly talented women, Bubba and My, along with a troupe of other equally talented sidemen women, who represent the ‘Mi’ in My bubba Mi. Bubba is quite fond of both the guitar and banjo, while My has a really old table harp that is brought out occasionally. The two are phenomenal singers and musicians who met by chance in Copenhagen a few years ago. What began as an evening ritual to pass the time soon led the girls to Italy to record their first album. Since then they have been touring around Europe, impressing and charming at Iceland Airwaves and Eurosonic, Into the Great Wide Open in Vlieland and The Band Room in Great Britain.

My only grudge with Good Night Heart is that it is far too short (run time is just about a minute). That being said, the beauty and jaw dropping talent demonstrated in Good Night Heart easily make up for the limited duration. Within seconds of pressing play, I had goosebumps running straight down my arm. The harmonies are stunningly beautiful. Simple and yet sophisticated, with a hint of something old and something new.

As warm and sweetly sung as this track is, you’d be crazy not to download it. This daringly sweet pair of ladies is going nowhere but up and you’d be foolish not to join them along the way. I’d dare say that if this track doesn’t send a chill straight down your spine, you’re likely incapable of feeling emotion.

Download and/or listen to the track here.

It was bound to happen, and now it has happened: How it’s done in Italy has landed, like a swan or an eagle, in Japan. The country of our longest growing furthest stretching dreams is now holding our hand, after we brought her our first record in a (naturally) Japanese edition, with some of the newer songs as bonuses, and spiced/spoused up with our new born photo book How it’s done by My bubba & Mi. It’s all very delicious.
Come taste. The Japanese edition of How it’s done in Italy, is also available at our cozy store
And in Japan, here

Bring your own chop sticks.

Japan, nice to meet you. Nice to hold your hand.

Oh Kiss No

Oh my man he don’t like kissing now what do I do?
He gets restless after just a minute or two
he says he has to go fix the record or polish his boots
and I’m left lonely, pulled up by my roots

He plays his guitar for hours
and takes really long showers
But my lips have to sit
and wait and hunger
as if he told me to please take a number

I have patience to fill up caves
But sometimes I feel like go digging graves
If he won’t give me kisses soon and many
I’ll drop and wiggle down the street like a penny

Through & Through

you come
like a tornado you come
and you mess up my car
my car that is my life
and like my life, it carries me around

I’d give
I’d give the whole lot to you
I’d do it all-ways, all-through
oh my hero, for you
I’d lay,
lay down across
the railroad tracks with you
I swear I think it is true

you burst
you burst into my soul
you crash all the fragile things
that I polish each night
mm, that I polish and worship each night

you lick
you lick the cream off my skin
you rub the steam off my brim
so gallantly frail
I’m floating in soap and water for you

Wild & You

I’m so wild about you baby,
half would be enough
I’m so wild about you honey,
makes being without you awful tough
I’ll run far for your loving,
until I lose my breath

I spend most of my life now
dreaming dreams about you
I spend most of my life now
dreaming baby of you
now what would I do
if they ever come true?

Still my answer is yes
to whatever you say
oh my answer must be yes
to whatever you say
Cause you make me feel
like a real deal loving mess

Oh what is it with our nerves
rubbing on each other?
Oh what is it with our nerves
rubbing on each other?
They shimmer and we shine
like electricity lines

I’m so wild about you baby,
half would be enough
I’m so wild about you honey,
makes being without you awful tough
I’ll run far for your loving,
until I lose my breath
and fall into my death

Good Night Heart

I would say I’ll see you in the morning
but I know all the good will be gone
it’s clear you sadly have to leave now
so I wave good bye good heart

when the night is slowly sleeping and we come to the final tune
I hold you close to me darling and I hope to see you soon

Nothing Much

I should lay my burden down
instead I cling him heavy to my head
when I should lay my burden down

I ought to leave my man
instead I sleep heavy on his bed
when I ought to leave my man

hold my heart and hold my waist
the whole night  through
hold my heart and hold my head
until the day is new

everything up here froze to Ice,
everything that once was very nice.
there is nothing much that I can do until spring time will arrive
since everything up here froze to ice.

when home sweet home seems far away
I find a place to rest.
on your well grown beard I lay, upon your homely chest

so! now we are finished with america, but only for this time. our goodbye was an intimate concert in john & yoko’s old place with half of our newly acquired nigerian cheer leading team and tomato soup and a dog and other good folks. in a few hundred years we will be known as famous adventurers. tomorrow we will go for huevos rancheros and then catch a flight for home and family.

The juicy new EP by My bubba & Mi, ‘Wild & You’, holds 5 new tunes in a shimmering flower sleeve. These tickling, silky like songs were born in spring days of longing, and became fully grown in a dense fruitful garden while rehearsing for a tour with the Tangarine Twins early this summer. Recording them shortly thereafter, here is now a lovely little jewel to savor and sip, right on time for cold dark fall. ‘Wild & You’ is introduced by a historic video for single ‘Through & Through’.
