[Teleprompt/Warner Bros., 2006]
In one word: Perfect.Mute Math are an alternative rock band hailing from New Orleans, LA. They consist of some members of the disbanded, yet highly regarded Earthsuit, and have received enthusiastic reviews from the world-wide music media since their first appearance in 2004.
After the very successful Reset EP release the band presented their self-titled debut album, which they supported with a tour. The album had a surprisingly good impact on its listeners, a fact that was reflected on both its sales and media recognition.
The sound contained in this album varies from soothing melodies to energetic and - dare I say - explosive at times compositions and was achieved through several instruments and gadgets. Moreover it seems to be the result of much work as is depicted in every single track of it.
Specifically, you can meet clever guitar riffs combined with complex drum lines and electronic slices, supported by clear vocals, all mixing into a beautiful sounding result.
In conclusion this is a release that is definitely worth several listens while it was credited by many as maybe the best alternative rock release of 2006. Be sure to check it out!
Info: The band is currently in a recording session of their second full length release which is scheduled to hit stores on August 2009.
Must listen: Chaos, Plan B
