Armistice



Mute Math just released their second album Armistice. Armistice is defined as, "
an agreement made by opposing sides in a war to stop fighting for a certain time; a truce." The Album title is a window into the bands life prior to making the album. Evidently the band was about to break up before writing this album because of disagreements. You can read the full story here: http://www.myspace.com/mutemath

I have to say after listening to the album a couple of times, I think it is quite good. I think they have definitely evolved as a band. They continue to be a great blend of organic and electronic. The melodies at times soar, the beats are driving, and at times the music is just beautiful; the song Lost Year; mainly piano and Paul Meany's dynamic voice is a good example. As far as a band that is still creating good Rock and looking to be innovative, Mute Math is definitely one of those bands.

I am thankful for bands who are taking their craft seriously and are looking to be progressive in the arts.
So all that to say I recommend this album!
