1/4/5 Mute Math started their new year off playing shows as part of the 2005 Passion Conferences. In an article about the conferences, Nashville’s Tennessean had this to say: “Doubtlessly the most current sounding of the Passion ’05 musical crew (”current” meaning elegantly retro), New Orleans trio Mute Math mixes warm Rhodes piano chords with dance-y beats and reggae-influenced vocals — tastes of the Police and trip-hop heroes such as Portishead make appearances, to fine effect. You might call the group the least well-known of the Passion lot, and you also might call them the best of it.”
