Mutemath (sometimes styled as MuteMath or MUTEMATH) is an American alternative rock project founded by American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer Paul Meany. Originally co-founded as a band with Darren King in 2002, Meany decided to continue Mutemath as a solo project following King's departure in 2017. Mutemath draws heavily from influences in 1960s and 1970s soul, psychedelic rock, and jam band styles, utilizing vintage guitars and amplifiers as well as Rhodes keyboards, synthesizers, and other electronic instruments such as the keytar.

"It's a dreamy and melodic endeavour."
Not content to simply play their latest, they head back to the beginning with Control from their 2004 EP Reset, and then to some new material.
It’s hard to imagine how they could get any better than this, but they’ll probably manage it.
“Right now we’re trying these ideas out as a band, and we’ll see which songs live or die, or at least make it to our tour in Australia,”
“I guess that [electronic music] has always been our MO to this day, even on Odd Soul, which ended up sounding very organic and jammed out.”
The band are currently writing tracks for a new record.
“We’re going to play some of these for the first time when we get to Australia. We’re looking forward to giving these new ideas some road miles."
“I feel like I’m losing my soul with all these interviews. Let’s talk about a microphone or something.”
