EP out now from E Mute – ‘I Can Pay For It’

E Mute coverMusic with a political conscience but also a sense of fun, the new EP from songwriter Theo Mak and his evolving musical collective E Mute is involving, enraging (in a good way) and very timely.

With recent political events seeming to enliven the public debate and engage people who are long since lapsed, the timing couldn’t be better. And it helps no end that the music is high quality as well.

Captured with a raw sound, the indie style lends itself perfectly to the subject matter, almost like a proto-punk for the modern age. It gets is points across superbly, but without battering the audience into submission –  a common mistake for political writers. Instead, it focuses on wry smiles, a touch of wit and an endearing smirk to get its points across.
