Mutemath came out of New Orleans as the brainchild of Paul Meany, a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, who founded it with Darren King. Their sound is a jumble-sale of old gear put to new uses: vintage guitars and amps, Rhodes keyboards, synthesizers and the odd keytar, all serving songs that borrow from the soul, psychedelic rock and jam bands of the '60s and '70s and then crank the tension up to modern-rock levels.

The self-titled debut on Warner Bros. in 2006 gave them "Typical", a nervy, stop-start rocker that coils and snaps like a spring, along with "Chaos". Greg Hill played guitar in the early lineup until 2010, and Roy Mitchell-Cárdenas became part of the core crew. Odd Soul, in 2011, leaned hard into grimy, swaggering funk-rock with "Blood Pressure", and Vitals, in 2015, went glossier and more electronic with "Monument".

King left in 2017, and Meany decided to carry on with Mutemath as a solo project.
