Louder Than The Music

Alternative rock band MuteMath have finished work on their third album, with an expected release of September 2011. Lead singer Paul Meany has also revealed that the band's guitarist Greg Hill has left the band following what he described as an "amicable" split. The three remaining band members shared the guitar duties for the recording of the new album, but the band have recently found a new guitarist ahead of hitting the road to tour the new album.

MuteMath released their second full-length album 'Armistice' in August 2009. "The new album is done", said Paul Meany in a message to fans. "We flew out a few weeks ago to LA to play it for everyone we work with in its entirety for the first time. The reaction was more overwhelming than we could've hoped for. So if everything stays on course, the album should be out by September."

Paul also revealed that the band decided to record the new album by themselves in total isolation. "We decided it would be refreshing to go about it completely different than the last one... we wanted to be left alone. The idea of complete isolation was the only thing that appealed to us. No camera guys, no producers, no engineers, no record label people, no management... NO ONE would hear or comment on what we were doing until we were done. The three of us would share the new found guitar duties, lock down in my house in New Orleans and not come out until we had something we thought was great. No matter how long that took. Thankfully, it only took about 6 months. We really set to make this album with as little distraction as possible."
