Mutemath (sometimes styled as MuteMath or MUTEMATH) is an American alternative rock band from New Orleans that formed in 2003. The group consists of lead vocalist and keyboardist Paul Meany, drummer Darren King, guitarist Todd Gummerman, and bassist Roy Mitchell-Cárdenas, but they often perform on any mixture or variation of these instruments. They draw heavily from influences in 1960s and 1970s soul, psychedelic rock, and jam band styles, utilizing vintage guitars and amplifiers, as well as Rhodes keyboards, synthesizers, and other electronic instruments such as the keytar.
Mutemath is the first full-length album by Mutemath, independently released by Teleprompt (formed in 2004 with production/management partners Tedd Tjornhom and Kevin Kookogey). The album was initially packaged in a jewel case and was sold exclusively at concert dates on their 2006 album tour. The release date was January 19, the first date of the tour.
Near the beginning of February 2006, the album was added to the Teleprompt Records online store, and was from then on sold in digipak form, both online and at concerts. According to Mutemath's management, Mutemath sold nearly 10,000 copies in the first month of its release, selling almost 100 copies per day via their website.
The album was also released as a two-disc vinyl record in May 2006.
On September 26, 2006, a remastered version of the album was released on Warner Bros. Records, featuring additional tracks from Reset. A limited-edition live EP was included with the first 25,000 copies. The album debuted on Billboard's Top Heatseekers Chart at No. 17. It reappeared on the same chart almost a year later at No. 28 on August 4, 2007 while the first radio single " Typical" debuted at No. 39 on Billboard's US Modern Rock Chart the same week. To date, the album has sold over 100,000 copies since its original release.
The second single from Mutemath, " Control", was released to radio on January 15, 2008.
