{"product_id":"mutemath-armistice-cd","title":"Armistice CD","description":"A jittery, relentless mood animates the tracks on Armistice, MuteMath's sophomore album.  If the Christian-rooted quartet's debut album displayed an unusual degree of rhythmic sophistication, this release pushes the grooves into almost avant garde territory, inviting comparisons with the Talking Heads' Remain In Light for sheer boldness.  Armistice veers from the spongy, dub-like throb of \u003ci\u003eBackfire\u003c\/i\u003e to the ominous military trudge of \u003ci\u003eBurden\u003c\/i\u003e and the choppy, high-gloss funk of the title tune, embellishing its beats with pulsating synths and stabbing guitar lines.  Singer Paul Meany fully embraces his role as a dance-floor prophet, probing at modern spiritual maladies in \u003ci\u003eThe Nerve\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNo Response.\u003c\/i\u003e  The softer moments here are surprisingly effective; \u003ci\u003ePins and Needles\u003c\/i\u003e has a languid jazz feel, while \u003ci\u003eLost Year\u003c\/i\u003e dispenses with electronica trappings in favor of piano balladry.  The kinetic \u003ci\u003eSpotlight\u003c\/i\u003e - used to telling effect on the Twilight film soundtrack - sums up the barrier-challenging spirit of the album. - iTunes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: August 18, 2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Teleprompt \/ Warner Brothers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 093624975366\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mutemath","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772276225,"sku":"Mutemath (5)","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Mutemath_Armistice_CD.jpg?v=1767809311","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.live\/products\/mutemath-armistice-cd","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
