Text excerpt written by Ela Orleans, via the label :

"...For admirers of visual music, Mumia occupies the space where sound and colour converge—where grief does not declare itself in pathos but hums beneath the surface, unwavering. The album creates a synesthetic experience where the mind paints with sound. Each side of the record reflects the nature of colour, with tones moving between light and dark, evoking the quiet presence of the lost. Mumia is like a moving canvas, where the soundscape serves as both background and foreground. Like a painting slowly revealed layer by layer, its sonic palette offers depth and subtle details that saturate and cool.

A conversation with Bobby Would leaves a similar impression. He speaks with compassion, open to the world of those he engages with—a quiet observer, tinged with dark humor. Listening to his work, I think of Barthes’ Death of the Author, yet Bobby's presence is undeniable, subtly woven into the fabric of his creation. His music holds memory, allowing the listener to contemplate their own. The drones stretch, hover, and fade. They do not rush toward resolution but settle into the weight of stillness—the kind that comes when grief no longer announces itself but simply exists. I notice myself breathing peacefully, listening attentively. I realize I need to get myself into that state more often.

Bobby Would has made an album that does not propose meaning but allows it to be found. And in that, it is haunting. It is reverent. It is, undeniably, beautiful."
