Formed in 2003, MUTEMATH – the GRAMMY-nominated, alternative-rock band from New Orleans – is back with new music after a four year hiatus. The four piece will release their fourth studio album VITALS, on November 13th through Sony Music Entertainment Australia.
Nothing has been particularly easy on the band these past several years since 2011’s ODD SOUL. As well as changing management and replacing a band member, add in marriages, births, deaths etc. and you have VITALS; an album of stadium-sized hooks designed to reach rafters, yet delivered from deep within the smallest caverns of this band’s very soul. Everyone in the band agrees that VITALS became an album the day they wrote the first single, ‘Monument.’
Citing bands like Steely Dan and The Police as a source of inspiration, ‘Monument’ is an electro-pop track with shimmering synth beats that will make you want to get up and groove.
MUTEMATH’s VITALS is the sound of a band reborn, rediscovering just why they must make music by making it for themselves, above and beyond the interference of anyone (or anything) else.This time out, the band is unafraid, refusing to hide behind unnecessary subtleties and striving for that universal chord that resides in us all.
Sometimes it takes a decade. Sometimes it never happens. For MUTEMATH, it happens now.
No strangers to Australian audiences, the band have been here numerous times throughout their career including the Groovin’ The Moo Festival, Soundwave Festival and their own headline tour.
