Have you heard awesome music today?

Topic of discussion: MuteMath.

What is that, you ask?  I tell you.  They are a band.  They are one of my favorite bands, and are in fact the only band I've seen more than twice in concert.  And I own all their music.  And I listen to it a lot. 

But what do they play, you ask?

Grumble grumble, this is hard to explain.  They are so eclectic and draw their music from so many different styles that you can't just point to one (or two or three) and say, 'that's it!'

So how many different styles can they have, you ask?  Let me 'splain.  No, there are too many, let me sum up:

Alternative rock, techno, blues, electronica, gospel, classic rock, reggae, pop, jazz.

And if that seems contradictory, listen to this:

(and yes, all their live shows are that explosively wonderful and fun)

Or this:


Or perhaps this:  (no words, just music)



So you might understand just how hard it is to describe this awesome band when the common musical descriptions don't come close enough. 

Perhaps you'd just have to be an odd sort of person to appreciate them, with odd eclectic musical tastes.

Who me?

Pretty.
