Vinyl edition of Odd Soul, the 2011 release from Mutemath. Bonus Odd Soul CD included inside. A tension of opposites runs through MuteMath’s third album, Odd Soul. Serene vocals float above churning grooves while spiky guitar riffs stab at candyfloss melodies. The album’s musical complexity is reflected in multilayered lyrics, many of which touch on the band’s Christian roots. In the process, MuteMath achieves an unlikely fusion of 70s funk, 80s new wave, and classic prog-rock that propels its sound into challenging experimental territory. Drummer Darren King plays a particularly crucial role here, laying down ferocious, cymbal-bashing percussion onQuarantine,Allies, and similar tunes. Paul Meany’s lead vocals weave around the quivering keyboards and molten bass, rising to an effortless falsetto that conveys hipster cool with a hint of prophetic vision. The jittery boogie beat ofBlood Pressure helps deliver a message against narrow-minded believers. Odd Soul ends with the luminousIn No Time, a quietly passionate reaffirmation of faith that reconciles the jarring elements in this intoxicating album. – iTunes VINYL CD Details Release Date: January 10, 2012 Record Label: Warner Brothers UPC: 093624955122 Number of Discs: 2 Listen Before You Buy Reviews There are no reviews yet.
