ReviewMUMSDOLLAR | Ruins

By Hayden Shearman | 16 comments

MUMSDOLLAR | RuinsTalk about sending shivers down your spine! Soaring guitars, huge drums, sit-up-and-listen gang vocals, all topped off with Ben Claxton’s soul-stirring voice reciting lyrics that are simply some of the best poetry I have discovered in an album sleeve for years. After hearing these songs live, you can now delve into the depths of their meaning. Ladies and gentleman, I can confirm all the baited anticipation and long wait for Mumsdollar’s follow up to A Beautiful Life has been well worth it! read »

Mute Math release Spotlight EP taster

Wednesday, February 11, 2009

By Elliot Taylor

With their much anticipated second album on its way later this year, Mute Math have released a small, downloadable EP to tide over those impatient fans. However, there’s not a lot of new material on offer here, just the previously heard “Spotlight” (from the Twilight soundtrack), a couple of “Spotlight” remixes and a studio recording of “Clockwork”. Still, at about six bucks New Zealand you can’t really complain.
