The Tryout: Mutemath
The debut album from The XX isn't on lala.com so I couldn't embed it but it seems like it might be worth checking out. With that album out, I decided to go with Mutemath as this week's tryout. They seem like Phoenix, if that group was from the French Quarter instead of France. It should be interesting to see how this album does and if Twilightmania will help it at all. The first single "Spotlight" was on the Twilight soundtrack so maybe they were able to grab some new fans off of that. We shall see.
I'm not in love with the album but it's a solid listen. I'm torn on whether I should just buy The XX album. The song snippets on ITunes sound alright but I've been led astray by that before (e.g, Burial). I might just hold off.
