After two long, domesticated years of breakups, job losses, uprooting and rebuilding, Mutes have returned with their reactionary, tempestuous sophomore LP ‘Pareidolia’- a meandering, exhilarating record that sees the Birmingham post-punk group delivering something entirely new.
James says of the album:
"Pareidolia is an album that I willed into existence over a year that was rife with personal turmoil and upheaval. No money, no band, no real idea about what the hell I was doing. The themes are primarily existential as I struggle to recognise myself and all that should be held dear by me on a daily basis. And so I force familiar shapes from nothing in the hope of feeling some commitment towards the faceless environment I've built for myself. Motivations and world-weary admissions aside, I feel it is an ambitious and multi-faceted work that I hope others may relate to."
Mutes have continued to build up a national reputation supporting bands such as Sorry, No Age, Cloud Nothings, The Cribs, PINS, Menace Beach & more. The group have received a steady stream of acclaim for their recorded output and live shows since 2014.
