[xoarianaox94]

ahhh amazingggggg

[bizziebizerk]

this is on the album but they only used some bits and peices of this at the end of the song "burden" you only hear the drum sticks on the bathroom floor part but thats it i wish they put this whole thing at the end of burden thats my favorite song on the album paul kills me when he starts singing at the end you all know wut im talking about its by far the best ending to a song ever or they should have used this like and intro beat like they did with "collapse" they are by far the best band out

[monkeymonkeymoomiss]

Oh my god, this is wicked. Can imagine the amazingness if MM did a track with Imogen Heap, how could would that be! They're both so different to everyone else, it could really work :)

[YooToobgurl86]

Wow its ridiculous that you would even say that!!!!!!! because those imogen heap and mutemath are my favorite!!! noooo lie

[MutheeTrack]

why not incluyed this track in the album armistice? its great

[kitwahtwah]

the drums on the sink at the beginning end up in Burden

[motivatdguy2000]

This is gonna be on the track "Goodbye". The new album is sick!!

[GabrielNotTheAngel]

naaahh... more or less.. they didn't adapt this loops to the song, they used that little instrument in the song though........

[levihambrick]

I sooo hope this makes the album...I know they had to pitch a LOT of the stuff they wrote while in this studio/house...

[pavaqlco]

does somebody know what is it called that instrument he is playing at the beginning?????

[drumlinefreak13]

Bells/Glockenspiel

[1powday1]

xylophone *

[telemaster1988]

Drumlinefreak is right, that's a Glockenspiel. Xylophone's are typically bigger, and often made of wood.

[Moog167]

1powday1....wrong answer drumlinefreak13 is correct....

[mutlover]

the bells, or glokenspiel

[braproductions]

bells. hahaha

[ikufubemamba]

its a lira.....

[MercuryClock]

I just might be a bit gay for Darren King.

[engeladam409]

I might have to agree with you.

[SuperGamer87]

Mute Math! Man, I like that house!  Looks comfortable! Well, I live in a cereal box, so anything with space and good lighting looks great to me!

[m0viesbym00se]

There are no suprises with Mute Math.

I love everything about them. Don't think I would ever be able to live w/o em.

Please tour somewhere north of VA and East of Ohio. [In other words, PA PLEASE!]

I'm begging you guys. I'm never gonna get to see you guys live. :[

[sightonsound]

i would seriously consider flying out to one of their shows if you need to for their next tour date. thats how amazing they are live.

[shadowxps]

Wow, Mutemath are just a bunch freaking geniuses.

[Gaiagirl85]

Speaking about creativity... brilliant!

[YooToobgurl86]

I'm in love... dont know how i ever lived without them before! ..been ready for more new music from them for a long time!

[ReptiliansAmongUs]

mutemath has groooown

more vlogsssssss

[Taokatoamv]

still awesome!!!!!!!!!

[carl9z]

never underestimate the accoustics of a washroom. (Also I love the reverse xylophone)

[ff5chic64]

WOW! they are so creative!

[LIFESONGWF]

They're the most creative band out there now. I love them!

[FINGERSFORTEETH]

sigur ros is creative too.

BOTH AMAZING BANDS.

[jmmkcd]

very creative. if this (and the other vids) creativity is a sign of whats to come, then I shall be blown away.

[formyfor]

i opened your 175bpm video together with this video it sounds great lol you guys should try

nvm forget about this if it's nonsense

[GoogleRep]

IM STONED

[samx919]

@GoogleRep DUDE ME TOO! THIS IS CRAZY!

[emolitions]

@GoogleRep haha bro same here! been listening to it for hours man..

[randomact07]

Im so ready for the new album!!! Its going to definately redefine them as musicians!!!

[jumpintoyourmind]

ONLY MUTEMATH could come out with something so cold!

[zlajazlo]

This experiments reminds of DREDG. They are doing similar thing.

[ggn1]

His headphones are Beyedynamic DT770 Pro's

[jeanative]

So visceral, organic and creatively real...this is music

[newwave808]

i can't wait for their new album. this is going to be spectacular!

[RedRedWineMusic]

WOW!! i've been anticipating this album for a VERY long time and this serves to satisfy my hunger at least a little. this is incredible. i can't wait for this album.

[boredandjaded]

YEAAAAAAH!

[DearInsanity]

this freaks me the hell out.

but it's so amazing, that it doesn't matter.

[thebestdrummerfla]

:O:O:O:O sweet Lord. heavenly:X

[Elusive910]

Abstract music methods make for some good beats fer sure and your an example of this.

[perilouspete]

myyyyyyyy goodness. frickin sick. especially when you do all of the reversed stuff.

[gladeasy]

Sounds cool but I would never let Darren swing a drumstick nearly that close to one of my personal 414's. Well, maybe with a deposit first :-)

[fulanitaaaa]

Loooooveeeee it, can't wait!

[cubworld]

frikin amazing!!!!

[markysparky88]

stunning

[jeahhjeahh]

that just sent shivers down my spine.

really looking forward to the album.

but don't hurry.

take your time.

(but not to long)

[benitosuave]

sick

[crabbybrat]

Brilliant! We're so looking forward to it :)

[rythmdood11]

I love it! I like the vibe that the prep time for this album is putting off. I am really excited!

Grace and peace.

-bc

[danceswiththieves]

everybody knows that bathrooms are the perfect place to record. they have perfect resonance.

[Mnt2Live]

I cannot wait for this new album! That little sample sounds sweet. Leave it to Mute Math to make new material in the bathroom. Tremendous.

[tenebrousllama]

NICE!

[Novlee2000]

That is sick boys!!! Can't, and I mean can't, wait for the new album!!!

[ilovemutemath]

hurry up with the album, guys.

I'm kinda anxious.

kthx.

oh, it sounds pretty good by the way.

[vielboy]

If you use this in some song on the new record i'll be amazed, sounds great.

[capecodairsofter]

this is going to be the greatest album ever since they're already the greatest band ever!!!!!!!

[solosaurus]

it's only a sample, and i already love it like crazy. goodness.

[ilovemutemath]

you know, I'm not like as into them as I used to be, I don't even really listen to them that much.

But this is just spectacular.

Keep up the good work, fellas.

[castma83]

i like it when it's heard from the other room as Paul listens on...very cool

[CCNuck]

I know, eh?

I also love Paul's " . . . think!" pen-tapping as he tries to write lyrics (well, maybe he's trying to write lyrics - he might be writing a grocery list for all I know)

[castma83]

LOL....could be right!

[greenman02468]

that was some serious BULLSHIT!!!!!!!! If you guys like this kinda shit(I don't) then you should watch STOMP

[MJames83]

Go troll somewhere else. These guys are the most creative/original band since Radio Head

[mariahmargo]

Not gonna lie; gives me chills.

[Christiaan33]

what a soul!

[krizzle210]

Love it! You guys are so creative, and I can't wait for the new album to be released!

You've been my favorite band for two years and counting. :)

[ClickTrackH3art]

Ahaha! Dude I can't wait for this album!

[zakkido]

my head is gonna explode if i don't get this album now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

[tri8990]

MuteMath is the best band I've ever heard =)

I'm their best fan in France, but nobody know them here =/

[bluekidcory]

you know it's gunna be amazing when even the sound quality and this video is amazingly pieced to together

TOODLES

[RapturedArtist]

This is only an indication of what true musicians I feel Mute Math are...to just go to a bathroom and make a song/video out of it....wow...GENIUS!

Aren't the harmonics great in there?

You guys are great! I can tell you the love I have for your music...truly redefining my interpretations of how well choreographed sounds put together added with some elbow grease, passion and great lyrics can really make the some of the best songs ever made!

Please don't ever stop what you do

[allbeehive]

Wow, that was one of the coolest things I have ever heard!!  Great job MuteMath!!

[BlueXerces]

This sounds like Clockwork to me... well, whatever track it is, I love the sound, it's AMAZING! I can't wait for your album to be released! ^_^

[purpleclowds]

someone find my head its just got blown away.

cant wait for this album and hear it all put together.

[JDMeiser]

So, this is about my 8,000th time watching this...

[mynameisinsaniac]

same

its just so good

[Rammzorrrr]

I really like the reverse effect. These guys are really the best I've seen when it comes to music creation :)

*waiting for the new album* Go Darren, go Darren!

[emsan395]

gave me chills:)

[MikeDevaney]

That wasn't sick, that wasn't badass that wasn't even incredible......THAT WAS FATALLY ILL, IT WAS INDESCRIBABLY GOOD.......my head just exploded. waiting with baited breath for the new album.

[56nelson]

lmao i was about to give u a thumbs down by reading the beginning of what u said

lol

but u get like a triple thumbs up

[MikeDevaney]

Aw shucks, I try real hard.

[SoggyMatch]

that was sick! it reminds me of back in high school when the drumline would get bored and we would just start banging on whatever was around.

[ChaosTheSilver]

OMG.  Next album will be SICK. Absolutely SICK.

[RockinHobbit]

Bathroom tile as percusion = pure genius.

And, maybe I'ma nerd for noticing, but is that an FFA jacket Darren is sporting?

[loverst2]

why did you guys record this in a bathroom LOL.

and that's AWESOME by the way!!!!!!! :D

[Jeangtrd]

The accoustics of the room give a nice natural reverb.

[warningrandom]

because it gives a eggo sound and its quiet

[mstudiosorg]

Frick yeah! That was SICK!!!! With every one of these studio videos that I see, I just get more and more excited for the new album. I'm going to have to buy like 3 copies when it comes out, just cause it will be soooooo good.

My expectations are high, and this video confirms that I will not be disappointed.

[jeremydale]

That was brilliant. Great stuff, gents.

[coehort]

i can't wait to hear what this sounds like on the new album

[wowlrus]

why are you guys so cool?

[timspeed3]

GAWRSH GUYS YOU BE S O GOOD

[fatchristine]

That sounded AMAZING! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ALBUM!!

[Holmesymom]

Gosh guys....it just keeps better AND better.......

excited isn't even the WORD

[readaryan]

you are the most creative since floyd

[dynamis57]

I saw you guys at the Quebec Summer Festival last year; it was amazing and ever since then I have been hooked. Your last cd is my favorite album and the live dvd is magnificent. All I have to do is show someone the live dvd and you are their new favorite band. Keep up the great work and these wonderful vlogs!

[roxayandscarlet]

HOLY FREAKING CRAP YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING!

Your first album was insane...I can only imagine how how flippin awesome this one is going to be!!!!!!!

[mensmaximus]

Ceiling shot in the apartment.

Clockwork Orange awareness.

[WintersucksOH]

Wow! Glad you guys do not live in rural West Virginia.

[Laedelas]

WOW that's amazing! Will you be bringing the bathroom sink on your next tour? Also, Paul's goatee looks great!

[sharkman]

Holy Crap that was good, that amped me up today

this new album will defiantly embarrass the first one

[Swimxbabe]

[Lightsofnero]

This is proof that they poop golden ideas!

[erisheri]

LMAO

[commntyblackman]

I really, really want to hear a studio version of Voice in the Silence.

[Swimxbabe]

[roxayandscarlet]

Yeah me to! I love love love that song! It'd be amazing to see it on the album.

[lemonpiebrain]

[motiv8edbyfaith]

AH! Can't wait!!! You guys are so amazingly creative. Love it.

[chromedecay]

It's going to be a pain dragging the whole bathroom up on stage to play this live...

[booyeah77]

[jamboncotton]

[3nimal]

I love doing this kind of stuff, it's really awesome. I'm so psyched for their upcoming album, it's gonna be CRAZY.

And Darren is a truly amazing musician and drummer. So innovative and skilled.

LOVE IT.

[Capella201]

Man, they never cease to amaze me.

I truly cannot wait for this CD.

[mrjotz]

[frozenreflections]

I hope with the new album you release a behind the scenes DVD with all this footage!! Put me on the preorder list :)

Thanks for the overdose of VLogs this week. You have been too kind.

[jgm2116]

how did you guys record the first album? and how do you re-create this for a live show?

[sharrkmaster]

Holy crap, that is fantastic! Amazing creativity there.. I wish I could do that, lol.

[weasilboy999]

That was AWESOME!!! Great playing, great post production and cool use of an ambient space and found objects. 414 is the perfect mic for what you did there.nice one

[agent00seven]

Could this be "Clockwork"? Hmmmmm. I think so.

[thishappyendingdied]

Darren is a god.

[coolguyrando7]

Not only do I love the sneak peeks of music, but I also love the artistic way in which the vlogs are made.

Thanks you.

[hippiebutnot]

Good job guys! God Bless!

[robbissoocool]

Loving it! Cannot wait for the new album, going to be just as amazing/creative as the first! Looking forward to it. you guys are amazing, come back to Canada Please!

[TaitFreak738]

any band who can jimmy rig their own instruments (cello, guitari, etc) and drum on the floor (let alone for an ALBUM) has my upmost respect.
