Hope You Found a Home

BUY IT from our Bandcamp page or from Carbon Records.

After a 10 year hiatus, the boys (now men?) of Muler decided to get back together to document some lost (never recorded) gems and some brand new tunes. Recruiting a couple old friends, the 5 guys went into the studio and laid themselves out on these 10 tracks, blending the old with the new, and keeping it all fresh and lively. All proceeds from this record are being donated to The Grant Fund (The Grant Fund).

The State of Play

The State of Play, Muler’s national debut, positively feels like the result of spare change, battered equipment, and a Budweiser party ball thrown in for good measure. But it couldn’t sound better. Coy song titles like “Birthday Cake” and “Share an Apple” might warn of cute indie pop. But make no mistake, Muler rocks like the band’s plane is going down. They’re arena rock with ’90s indie accessories: strained drums; rubber-band basslines; dual guitars that alternate between change jangling and gushy, sawtooth distortion. But State pushes such staples to their limits without falling into the ironic, self-aware trappings of geek rock. There’s a whiff of Ben Lee and Dave Pirner in Dave Baumgartner’s nasal-scratch vocals, but Baumgartner delivers his lines like Roger Daltrey on “Caesars Palace” and dork anthems “Wrong Coat” and “Sneakers.” Kristin Durso’s guitar and Will Veeder’s bass shimmer and grind beautifully on “Thrush” and “Son of Karate.” No indie meekness here, just rock that means what it says. Though first impressions may suggest standard nerd fare, the members of Muler rock like rock stars and hurt like rock stars. They put the “loss” back in “loser” with surprising, refreshing earnestness. ~ William Peters, All Music Guide

Thrush

Muler are a noisy pop 4-piece. Most songs are fast and catchy. They have recently released their first full length CD on Dedicated Records (distributed by BMG). They also have 3 other singles out and a couple tapes. The most recent 7″ single release is on Deep Elm Records out of NYC, where they play frequently. Check out their full length, which was recorded by Adam “Red” Lasus..
