As I’ve mentioned, the band self-released Mute Math on their own Teleprompt label, selling it online and at shows, following a dust-up with Warner and Word. I have previously gushed about Mute Math’s self-titled debut, which took its spot in the top two of my 2006 list pretty early on, and has yet to relinquish it. I do have something to review this week, but before we get to that, a quick note about something you can find in your record stores right now. But I’m glad that writing is my job, and not a suspect activity here in the office… So I’m writing this at work, and hoping nobody notices. I’ve been through three support technicians now, because I can only work on this issue an hour at a time, due to my insane schedule. The problem, apparently, is the graphics card – I spent hours on the phone with Dell tech support, in the mistaken belief that it was the graphics card driver. In any case, plans fell through, so I have to come up with something else.Īlso, my computer has decided to die on me.

As far as I know, both are still in transit, perhaps on an airplane somewhere, and perhaps that airplane is full of snakes, which would explain the delay. However – and I really should have seen this coming – neither one made it to the United States in time for me to fully review them. One month before the album's September 2017 release, founding drummer King also departed.I intended to write about two sweet pop records that are, as of now, only available in other countries – one from Canada and one from the U.K. Following the departure of longtime bassist Mitchell-Cardenas, the band announced the release of "Hit Parade," the lead single from their fifth LP, Play Dead. Vitals, the band's fourth studio long-player, was issued in 2015 via the band's own label, Wojtek Records, and featured the singles "Monument" and "Used To." The following year saw the release of "Changes," a new MUTEMATH single that, along with several remixes from the Vitals sessions, was included on an album of the same name. Todd Gummerman replaced guitarist Greg Hill that October, and the follow-up studio album, Odd Soul, was released in 2011. The album debuted at number 18, and MUTEMATH toured heavily in support, capturing one of their live shows on the 2010 concert album Armistice Live. Tours with Eisley, Alanis Morissette, and Matchbox Twenty honed the band's live chops, and MUTEMATH returned in 2009 with a new album, Armistice. "Typical" proved to be a modestly successful single, cracking the mainstream rock charts in 2007 and finding a home on MTV, where the song's Grammy-nominated video became a hit. An expanded version of MUTEMATH, featuring remastered tracks from Reset and a bonus limited-edition live EP, was released on September 26, 2006. The band's website announced that the suit was settled out of court, concurrent with the signing of an improved deal with Warner Bros. MUTEMATH and Teleprompt filed suit against the major label, claiming breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation. The EP's success allowed MUTEMATH and Teleprompt to negotiate a distribution deal with Warner Bros., which reissued the EP in 2005.Īlthough MUTEMATH completed their self-titled debut album that same year, marketing disputes between Teleprompt and Warner Bros. After adding guitarist Greg Hill and bassist Roy Mitchell-Cardenas, the new band completed the Meany- King compositions in 2003 Meany then took the resulting demo to noted CCM producer Tedd T., who was enthusiastic enough to launch a new indie label, Teleprompt Records, in order to release 2004's Reset EP.
The two began sending CD-Rs back and forth up the Mississippi River, eventually putting enough songs together to convince King to relocate to New Orleans and start a proper band. Singer Paul Meany, formerly of the Christian rock group Earthsuit, was working in New Orleans when he began a long-distance musical correspondence with drummer/programmer Darren King, who was based in Springfield, Missouri. Taking cues from several decades of alternative rock, MUTEMATH (also known as Mute Math and MuteMath) fuse together New Order's synth-dance epics, the Stone Roses' shambling shuffle, Radiohead's chilliness, Air's ambient pop, and the booming vocals of mainstream pop/rock.
