The new Mute Math, "Armistice," is amazing.

Filled with all kinds of sounds, rhythms and melodies, the album is complex and patient, racing and stilling all in one. It's a fantastic new sound, and I love this band for the sound they've created that's truly theirs (though entering their name does result in a wonderful Pandora playlist.) It's their second full length record, I believe, and it shows progression and maturity while crafting a signature sound.

I love this song, "Pins and Needles," it's got a wonderful message and a beautiful structure....note how awesome they sound live.




Sometimes I get tired of pins and needles,
Facades are a fire on the skin.
And I'm growing fond of broken people,
As I find that I am one of them.


They've got a great way of structuring lyrics, poetic and deep without being too abstract, and excellent rhythm.
