Mute contains nine songs that range from raw alternative to orchestral parts and poetic sounds, but the focus is always on the song. "I wanted the record to reflect my strengths as well as my weaknesses, so it doesn"t sound as pleasing and nice as the first record did. I tracked almost everything just with one or two takes for each instrument and vocals, keeping the rawness and sometimes even the mistakes just to confront myself to who I really am", frontman Nicolas Chapel reveals. All recordings stem from the brain of Nicolas Chapel, who played all the instruments himself. Nicholas has recently put together a real live band with Gaël Hallier on the drums and Antoine Pohu playing bass guitar. Recently Chapel toured throughout Europe multiple times with the likes of Anathema and Porcupine Tree.
