Chicago post-punk band Muet have announced the release of their debut album which is set to happen this week and have released a video to coincide with it. The video is for the track “Muscle” is taken from their self titled debut which is set to be released this Friday through the Metropolis label.

The line-up consists of vocalist Steven Siebold, Daniel Evans who plays both guitar and bass and drummer Vince McAley who have all previously played in post-industrial punk bands such as Pigface, Chemlab, Die Warzau and Hate Dept. Commenting on the making of the video  the band stated:”it was the first time we had all actually played in the same room together as a band. We made the album entirely by remote due to our singer living a few hours away from the rest of the band in Chicago. We traded files back and forth, the band recording demos and sending them to Steven and he would send vocal takes back. Somehow, it seemed to gel quickly. So, we’re actually playing together for the first time in this video, and we are really playing, not miming along to the song like most videos. We were so excited and perhaps a little nervous to put all the pieces together and play, that it seems to give the video an endearing quality. The editing was done by Vince McAley, while our friend Myles Arwine did a phenomenal job capturing and directing the footage. We can’t thank him enough.” Check it out below:

Muet has been  described as “the sound of American noir.  Sonically defiant art rock sung under the shadow of a long brim hat. Deliberate dissonance and heartbreaking melody are stitched together beneath sodium light with tales of the tragic, the romantic, and the bizarre.”
