Mute is one of the most revered and influential indie labels of all time. Through the music of its tight-knit community of artistsāranging from Cabaret Voltaire, Nick Caveās The Birthday Party and Moby to Depeche Mode, Erasure, and Goldfrappāit has had an incalculable impact on popular music for forty years.
Daniel Miller created Mute to release his debut single (āWarm Leatheretteā/ āT.V.O.D.ā), a pioneering electronic sound with a defiantly DIY punk attitude. Mute quickly established a reputation for cultivating the experimental, releasing cutting-edge industrial sounds, and chart-topping electronic music by the likes of Depeche Mode and Yazoo. The label was equally at home with the savage punk of Nick Caveās The Birthday Party andāto critical acclaimāhis next outfit, The Bad Seeds. It also proved to be an Internet pioneer, launching the online site Mute Liberation Technologies in 1994.
Mute features stunning artwork and photographyāmuch of it previously unseenāand revelatory behind-the-scenes insights from the vibrant cast who have worked with the label.
