MUTE TV opens with the debut single “Drag Me Down”, a visceral introduction that puts the band squarely in a place where intensity and emotion collide. Recorded live in The Heavy’s studio at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios complex, this song is a raw performance of energy.
“Drag Me Down” is very much a live recording, where the flaws work themselves into the identity of the song. Engineered by Chris Ellul and mixed by Joe Mountain, the production amplifies the emotional weight of the performance. “Drag Me Down” is a great introduction to the identity of MUTE TV, choosing live-recorded authenticity over studio perfection.
This single is the sign of a band that isn't afraid to strip things back to their bare bones and let the noise do the talking, with bold production and an immersive performance energy. MUTE TV uses this environment to deliver a debut that feels immediate and unguarded. “Drag Me Down” makes them a band to watch in the alternative music scene, especially if you like raw, live rock music.
