MUTEMATH - "Reset (Live)" and "Armistice"

This is one of my few music discovery experiences that I can recreate perfectly for you on this blog. Watch the performance of a song called "Reset" by a band named MUTEMATH.


That exact Youtube video was my first taste of MUTEMATH. Yes, the drummer has his over-the-ear headphones literally strapped to his head. Yes, he's awesome enough to pull that off. I would go on to discover that the band was strongly influenced by The Police (and if you don't believe me, then check out "Noticed"), that their singer actually has a great voice, that the crazy theremin-like instrument the singer's playing at the end is called an Atari, and that they can write really good songs. So why did I choose "Armistice" to go along with "Reset" today? Largely because of the awesome beat and the brass, and because you need to know what this band is capable of. Enjoy!
