MUTEMATH!!!! yyyyyeeeeeessssss!

     They've done it again!  I absolutely love the band MuteMath,, and their new album that came out this week is simply fun!  As seen in this new video for their song "Blood Pressure" and their 2007 video that first put them on the scene, "Typical", these guys from New Orleans are not only talented, but creative as well.
     Mutemath is extremely interesting as a band.  They have a unique sound that defines them.  I think what is so cool is that they often show off their talents by including songs on their albums that are solely instrumental.  It gives them cred as classical and artistic.  Their sound is a great mix of soulful,electronic, surf-rockish, industrial, with the distinct voice of Paul Meany and a few keytars.
     This new album is a wonderful mix of their past two, but in my opinion is a good improvement from their last, Armistice.  Some of the songs on the album are even a little bit progressive sounding, and it's cool how there will be one that has a super slow chill tempo then the next will be an upbeat ska-ish sounding song that you can dance to.
     While there's not much I can say about the vocals in this album, the music is still wonderful.  I am however a huge fan of Meany's voice, and if you listen closely, a few of the songs do have nice understated harmonies, including this song "Blood Pressure".  Also this video, which already the second from this album, is a total win.  So much stop motion, so much strobe, so much jumping, so much confetti, so much fun.

Here's the first video from this album, "Odd Soul"
