   About mumble
Mumble's music could be described as intelligent rock music for those who actually believe rock and roll can still be an art form. This label is dangerous though, because Mumble's music is still certainly very accessible with hooks and memorable passages. Complexly layered with sonic structure and full bodied production, their recorded material would be likened to an immersion experience. Live performances come off more as taut displays of interwoven musical exercise with bursts of emotional and sonic fury.
