Kumm's debut album "Moonsweat March" appeared in 2000 at Soft Records. It was well received, especially in the art-rock and prog-rock communities. With the second album, "Confuzz" (2002 - Soft Records), and new lead singer Dan Byron, the band definitely crossed the line into alternative rock territory. "Angels & Clowns"(2005) was the band's first release on the Italian label Cramps Records, and found the band experimenting with electronics and baritone sax. The album's release was followed by two Italian tours.
In 2005 Kumm attempted their first tour of Germany, and met their current manager Anja Strub, who went on to organize the band's next European tours. Later that year, singer Dan Byron left the band.
Kumm started rehearsing with singer Catalin Mocan ( formerly of Persona) and composed the material for their fourth album, which was released in 2006. "Different Parties", the band's most adventurous and daring album to date, mixed Mocan's soaring vocals with brutal guitar and saxophone riffs and lushly arranged strings and woodwinds. In 2007, Kumm celebrated their first ten years with a concert at the Bucharest National Opera House, amongst their former band mates and Romania's most interesting rock bands (Timpuri Noi, Luna Amara, ZOB, Travka, The Mood). As a friendly gesture, each one of them played one song by Kumm.
Kumm released on 30 October 2009 their fifth studio album, called "Far From Telescopes", which is considered by some critics as being their best album to date.

Kumm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave a sign
I'll follow
Right behind
And don't try to act like someone else in another life
Wake up
By my side
Take your time
I'll follow you around
You can try to hide a cloud behind the sun or moon
A better one
I'll never find
Stand up
Leave a sign
Come out
Right behind
Get by
Take time
Take your time
The lyrics to Kumm's song "Safe" seem to talk about a beautiful connection between two individuals. The singer encourages his/her partner to be themselves and not pretend to be someone else from an alternate life. The lyrics also seem to denote that the partner is comfortable with themselves and that they can lean on each other for support. They also encourage the partner to take their time and not rush into things. The singer seems to be in awe of their partner and is willing to follow them anywhere. The phrase "take your time" is repeated, emphasizing the importance of not rushing and savoring the moment.
The lyrics also have a deeply emotional undertone, indicating a willingness to be vulnerable with each other. The phrase "get by" could imply that they are going through a tough time together, but they will come out of it stronger. The line "You can try to hide a cloud behind the sun or moon" may suggest that the partner is trying to hide their pain or struggles, but the singer sees through it and won't give up on them.
Overall, the song seems to be a love song that emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself and being there for each other through thick and thin.
