Album Notes
Mutemath: Paul Meany (vocals, keyboards); Greg Hill (guitar); Roy Mitchell-Cardenas (bass guitar); Darren King (drums, sampler).
New Orleans's Mute Math draws its influence from some of the original cornerstones of alternative rock, including bands like the Police and U2. But while soaring hooks and atmospheric guitar tones abound on the group's 2006 debut, MUTE MATH, the group also displays a penchant for synth-heavy experimentation, off-kilter structures, and ambient textures. The combination is a winning one: Mute Math paints with a sophisticated art-rock palette, with heavy doses of electronica, dub, and post-rock thrown in, yet their songcraft demonstrates impeccable pop instincts. Immediately accessible and sonically adventurous, MUTE MATH is a promising debut from these up-and-coming contenders.
Industry Reviews
Mute Math's self-titled major-label debut bursts with hip-hop backbeats, emotive vocals and deliberate guitar samples, all while remaining an incredibly mellow listen.
4 stars out of 5 -- [W]ith drummer Darren King finding space between skillfully echoing electric pianos, dub bass, and reverbed guitars.
