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].

Mick Harvey is an Australian musician, born on 29 August 1958 in Rochester, Victoria, Australia. He has made significant contributions to the music industry as a talented multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer.

Throughout his career, Mick Harvey has collaborated with renowned artists such as *Rowland S. Howard*, *Nick Cave*, *Anita Lane*, and many others. His unique style blends elements of rock, post-punk, and alternative genres to create captivating and evocative music.

With his involvement in various bands including *The Birthday Party* and *Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds*, Mick Harvey has established himself as a key figure in the Australian music scene. His musical prowess extends beyond performing; he also showcases his skills as a producer for albums by artists like *Grinderman* and *16 Horsepower*.

Phantasmagoria In Blue is Mick Harvey’s new album of duets in collaboration with Mexican artist Amanda Acevedo.

The album contains 14 tracks sourced from existing duets, songs that previously were not duets, translations from Spanish and a sprinkling of original compositions. Thematically it explores the perennial themes of mortality, love and mankind’s search for meaning as well as an enthused engagement with the enigmatic and mythical. 

Harvey and Acevedo met several years ago in Mexico City, but it was during 2020/21 that the project burst into life, as ideas were exchanged across the oceans and through the ether. 

The resulting collection of songs is lush and sweeping in its emotional content and is full of nourishment for the imagination and the senses.
