Please note, some Mute issues also carry an EMI logo. This is not a label and EMI should not be added as a label, it instead indicates that Mute was part of the EMI Group.

Founded in 1978 by [a=Daniel Miller], Mute (also known as [l36339]) releases various forms of music, with an emphasis on electronic and experimental pop. In May 2002 the label was acquired by the [l=EMI Group]. In 2010 Miller did an agreement with EMI to handle Mute as an independent label again, licensing the trademark from EMI via his company [l=Mute Artists Ltd.], but EMI kept the rights over Mute's back catalogue. After the EMI Group was dissolved, in 2012 [l206061] acquired [l636]'s back catalogue.

Branch offices exist in Germany ([l168349]) and in North America ([l36296]). 

Mute has spawned many regional and special-interest sublabels, some of which are still active. One offshoot, [l=Parallel Series], even became independent of [l636] Mute also operates Mute Bank Mail Order, which sells the label's merchandise directly to consumers. Mute Bank published two issues of [i]Mute Statement[/i], a softcover book that details the entire discography of the label and includes band profiles and photos of release artwork.

Another label strongly associated with Mute is [l=Toast Hawaii], run by [a=Depeche Mode]'s [a=Andrew Fletcher].

Back In Stock

Beth Jeans Houghton releases a brand new album on Mute under the name Du Blonde. The new moniker is a fresh start for Beth whose album is a big change in musical direction. Whilst her 2012 album 'Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose' was a standalone piece of polymath pop, 25-year-old Houghton, has constantly evolved and reinvented herself - a musical and aesthetic chameleon always playing by her own rules. Where 2012's debut 'Yours Truly Cellophane Nose' threw everything at a song, 'Welcome Back To Milk' strips everything back and is one massive release of pent up aggression, captured perfectly by producer and Bad Seed Jim Sclavunos. Heavy riffs, loud drums and vocal snarls contrast beautifully with more poignant balladry and tenderness that fans of Houghton's previous work will recognise. Future Islands frontman Samuel T Herring also provides guest vocals on 'My Mind Is On My Mind'.LP - With Download.
