VUM Are Redefining the Topanga Canyon Sound

Comprised of musicians Jennifer Pearl, Chris Badger and Scott Spaulding, VUM create a hypnotizing hybrid of synthpop and psych rock. The trio recently released Cryptocrystalline, their third studio album, and Fuse spent the day with them at their home base of Topanga Canyon, California. Located above the sprawling freeways of Los Angeles, Topanga and Laurel Canyons have historically been known for such artists as Crosby, Stills & Nash and Joni Mitchell, but as you’ll see in this video short, VUM are on a different kind of trip.
