Description
The Mumlers’ debut record, 2007’s Thickets and Stitches, launched the ambitious San Jose band onto a national stage. Besides attention from Rolling Stone and NPR, it was the album that launched a thousand blog posts. The consensus: Ambitious. Fascinating. Soulful. Distinctive. And above all, unpredictable. They ain’t seen nothing yet. The Mumlers’ follow-up, Don’t Throw Me Away, which drops Sept. 9, is twice the record that Thickets and Stitches was, branching out in every direction at once. Its first single “Coffin Factory” sounds like a cross between ? and the Mysterians’ “99 Tears” and Talking Heads’ Fear of Music album, while something like “99 Years Ago” is so textured and atmospheric it should be immediately put on the soundtrack to something. This show at the Blank Club is their official hometown record release party. — Steve Palopoli, Metro Silicon Valley
