Debut single ‘Cigarette Smuggling’ attracted reviews using words like “genius” and “pure alternative perfection”. Second single ‘Change’ was selected by THE LIST as SINGLE OF THE MONTH for November while Artrocker / Loud Horizon scribe Colin Jackson wrote, “I think I could confidently predict that Glasgow’s MUMMY SHORT ARMS are probably the best band you haven’t yet heard.”
