Grammy nominated New Orleans 3 piece, Mutemath, have announced a string of dates around Australia to coincide with their appearances at Groovin The Moo nationally.
Since 2004 the genre bending trio featuring Paul Meany (vocals/keyboards), Roy Mitchell-Cardenas (bass/guitar), and Darren King (drums) have taken it upon themselves to deliver music that is unequivocally and defiantly their own.
On their latest album Odd Soul, which was featured as triple j Album Of The Week, Mutemath locked themselves down at Meany’s home studio in New Orleans and didn’t emerge until they were ready to play it for others.
“The idea of complete isolation was the only thing that appealed to us. No one would hear or comment on what we were doing until we were done,” frontman Paul Meany says. “We set out to record something that was unapologetically us.”
