New "Mute Math" Album Update!

The NEW ALBUM IS DONE. We flew out a few weeks ago to LA to play it for everyone we work with in it’s entirety for the first time. The reaction was more overwhelming than we could’ve hoped for. So if everything stays on course, the album should be out by September… but I’m hopeful you’ll start hearing things sooner than that.

Also, another bit of news is that back in October, our guitarist, Greg decided to leave the band. It might be a complete surprise to some, I know to others it’s not, but there were a lot of reasons that have been building up to this. However, it just came down to… a change of scenery was overdue. And it seemed best to happen before we went into making another record. The last record took more of a toll on us than we ever really let on, and once it came time to do it again, it became obvious that we couldn’t. Some kind of change had to happen. The split was certainly amicable and there are no hard feelings. We’re grateful for all the years Greg spent with us and wish him all the best.

However, the task at hand was still staring at us. How would we make this new album. We decided it would be refreshing to go about it completely different than the last one… which amounted to… we wanted to be left alone. The idea of complete isolation was the only thing that appealed to us. No camera guys, no producers, no engineers, no record label people, no management… NO ONE would hear or comment on what we were doing until we were done. The three of us would share the new found guitar duties, lock down in my house in New Orleans and not come out until we had something we thought was great. No matter how long that took. Thankfully, it only took about 6 months. Now as a consequence to working like this, there were of course no vlogs or things like that posted, and for that I apologize. But we really set to make this album with as little distraction as possible. So I hope you’ll forgive us once you hear the results.

Soon enough we’ll be getting to work on a new show. We HAVE recently found a new guitarist and when we get back on the road, we’re looking forward to introducing you to this new era for our band. But first we’re heading into the studio this week to start on final mixes.

So be on the lookout for how all this new stuff will eventually get to you. Because it shouldn’t be much longer now. We sincerely are grateful for your interest in what we do and would have literally not been able to make this record without it. So thank you.

We’ll hopefully see you soon.

Kind of bummed to hear about Greg leaving, but I'm sure it won't affect the sound of the album. I like how they isolated themselves from everything for this album. These guys are amazing musicians! Hope this album kicks ass!

I like it. It's got a nice groove to it

Have you seen all the studio footage (Daily Mutes)? Listening to those definitely solidifies my anticipation. Can't wait for October 4th!

They're channeling their inner Black Keys in that single. Not that I'm complaining, by any means.
