VUM began in 2008 as the songwriting duo Jennifer Pearl and Christopher Badger working in and out of the Secret Lodge in Topanga Canyon, CA. Their debut EP "Strange Attractor" manages to be the desert, the tropics, and "the streets" all at once. In 2011, VUM released their first full-length album, Night Sun, on Secret Lodge Recordings. Night Sun lead the listener further into the jungle-choked latitudes of distant locales and explored the dark side of psychic war, whilst becoming a staple on Henry Rollins KCRW radio show. VUM has since released a 7" single Laura Palmer/Are You Animal, and is set to release Psychotropic Jukebox, their 2nd album summer 2013.
