Giddily swiping ideas from several decades' worth of alternative stone, New Orleans electro-rock quartette Mute Math at times recall New Order's synth-dance epics, the shambling shuffle of the Stone Roses and the rest of the Madchester view, the spiky iciness of prime Radiohead, Air's serene ambient pop, and jolly incongruously, the flourishing vocals of mainstream alt-rockers of the post-Eddie Vedder epoch. Singer and keyboardist Paul Meany, once of the Christian rock radical Earthsuit, was living and operative in New Orleans when in 2001 he began a long-distance melodic correspondence with drummer and programmer Darren King, wHO was based in Springfield, MO. Sending CD-Rs back and forward up the Mississippi River, Meany and King wrote sufficiency songs together to win over King to relocate to New Orleans and start a right band. Adding guitar player Greg Hill and bassist Roy Mitchell-Cardenas, the new ring completed the Meany-King compositions in 2003; Meany took the resulting demo to noted CCM producer Tedd T., wHO was enthusiastic enough to start up the indie label Teleprompt Records to release 2004's Reset EP. The EP was successful sufficiency to reserve Mute Math and Teleprompt to negociate a dispersion dispense with Warner Brothers, which reissued the EP in 2005. Although Mute Math completed their self-titled debut full-length that same twelvemonth, disputes between Teleprompt and Warner Brothers about how the album was to be marketed delayed its release for virtually a year. Because Warner Brothers wanted to promote Mute Math as a CCM band instead of an alternate rock ring, thereby constraining their mainstream photo, Mute Math and Teleprompt Records filed suit claiming severance of contract and negligent deceit. The band's internet site proclaimed that the courting was settled out of court, concurrent with the signing of an improved plow with Warner Brothers. An expanded version of Mute Math, featuring remastered tracks from Reset and a incentive limited edition alive EP, was released on September 26, 2006.
