Odd Soul

New Orleans’ rock innovators MUTEMATH have announced that they will release their third album entitled, Odd Soul, on September 30th, 2011. The album, which was produced by the band, is the follow-up to 2009’s critically acclaimed Armistice. Odd Soul came together over the course of six months, during which the members of MUTEMATH — Paul Meany (vocals/keyboards), Roy Mitchell-Cardenas (bass/guitar), and Darren King (drums) — locked themselves down at Meany’s home studio in New Orleans.

Artistically, Mutemath has made a rock album that is unmistakably and inherently their own. Rooted in New Orleans rhythm and blues, fusing elements from psychedelia to traditional gospel to modern electronica, Odd Soul is constructed to live up to its title. "I think the title describes this record in every context." Meany summarizes, "It's who we are, where we've been, and what we incidentally sound like when set to music." An uplifting nature permeates all thirteen tracks on Odd Soul, however each song has its own distinct musical feel. From the bombastic Zeppelin-esque groove of "Allies" to the syncopated soul of the 1st single “Blood Pressure" (which will soon be blasting across the radio airwaves) sand electro-ambience of the ballad "In No Time," Odd Soul showcases how much the band has grown over the past few years.
