New Mute Math video shot backwards

Posted by aubin on Thursday, March 29, 2007 at 3:30 PM (EDT)

Mute Math have released the latest video from their new record, Mute Math. The video is unique in that the band learned and recorded the song backwards and then reversed the video, an idea famously used in David Lynch's Twin Peaks.

This video offered me no information in chewing gum popularity. Also it isn't punk.

Is this song a big hit? I don't listen to the radio but I've definitely heard it before which leads me to believe it must get played on jukeboxes at bars. Because that's about the only time I get stuck listening to music that I don't want to hear.

Crikey, I've heard Don't Stop Believin' at least 6000 times since the White Sox won in '05.

Guess I can't complain there tho!

Oh oh, definitely tried of ANYTHING by FallOutBoy playing in bars. Makes me see red.

Oh god, I'm a ridiculously huge Indians fan and you just mentioned the 2005 White Sox. This is by far the worst thread ever. I'm definitely drinking at home tonight

have them pegged as a 'lets get lots of crass press for being a fresh new artist' college rock band, but the song isn't horrible as far as kind of safe pop-rock goes.

the twin peaks dwarf is fucking amazing in Carnivale. Get him and the station agent in one movie and watch twin dwarf oscar noms fly.

Warwick davis is probably also free.

Weird Al did a backwards shot at the end of the "Amish Paradise" music video. This isn't new or unique.

the album is pretty stellar in my opinion. the video may not have been original, but i enjoyed watching it.

I dont think these guys ever got praise for originality or breaking the mold. they are just good musicians an fun to listen to. thats not so bad.

This record's really good and this band are incredible live performers. They're actually playing in Cleveland tonight but I'm stuck at work late and can't go. Such a bummer.
