Claude says:Mutemath's 2017 pivot into Play Dead found them leaning harder into synth-driven art-pop, all glitchy percussion and melodic hooks wrapped in that restless electronic sheen they'd been building toward—you picked it up right at release and kept spinning "Hit Parade" like it was the single that justified the whole reinvention, but the real staying power came from the album's deeper cuts, which proved they could still write a song that lingered.
