Play Dead is the highly anticipated fifth studio album from the New Orleans-based alt-rock band Mutemath. The Grammy-nominated electro-experimental rock band takes an unhinged and unguarded approach, while also pulling inspiration from previous albums including, 2011's fan-favorite Odd Soul. Entertainment Weekly said lead single 'Hit Parade' brings back the band's 'brand of chilled-out, soul-inflected psychedelic rock' and Fast Company called it 'a behemoth of a record.' MUTEMATH formed in 2002. They draw heavily from influences in 1960s and 1970s soul, psychedelic rock, and jam band styles, utilizing vintage guitars and amplifiers, as well as Rhodes keyboards, synthesizers, and other electronic instruments such as the keytar.
