The Mudd

The Mudd played their first shows in early 2016 and have since descended endlessly further into a dreamscape of melancholy lyrics, washed-out guitar parts and whirling rhythms. The band released their debut single “Love Apparatus” in 2019 and followed it with three songs on their first EP, Look at Me, released in October 2020. Inspired by bands such as <a href="spotify:artist:72X6FHxaShda0XeQw3vbeF" data-name="Slowdive">Slowdive</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0WPY9nnBy01s5QOt4o4oQX" data-name="Ride">Ride</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7bu3H8JO7d0UbMoVzbo70s" data-name="The Cure">The Cure</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5UqTO8smerMvxHYA5xsXb6" data-name="Sonic Youth">Sonic Youth</a>, they tell stories of longing for control, while treasuring what has slipped away. On the verge of a lush shoegazing aesthetic and a driving and sharp indie rock sound, The Mudd are constantly negotiating and reinventing their musical style.
