Sounds Like
"...punchy and pop-infected, akin to The Futureheads poising notes at sharper angles. Ditch the doubts at the door: expect to be impressed." Rock Sound
"...the whole thing's held together by some of the jerkiest guitar work this side of a Jade Tree compilation." www.drownedinsound.com
"A curious combo of At The Drive-In and Interpol, splashed with a bit of Foals-ian mathletics, tight and adventurous, Wintermute are cool." www.NME.com
"Their sound is an intoxicating and audaciously fully-formed blend of stop-start rhythms, intricate, harmonising guitar work and half-shouted vocals." Yorkshire Post
"...smart as a button in a nerd rock style and stomping out some very precise, upright indie pop.... Morphic pop in motion." Sandman Magazine
"...a bright, driving set of superbly well-rehearsed songs packed with nimble staccato riffs and power-surging bass lines." www.whisperinandhollerin.com
"With some bands you can hear them straining to find the right sound... but Wintermute have the ideas and, importantly, the ability to put their ideas into practice." Vibrations Magazine
"...steeped in intensity and emotion... a well of talent and creativity that points to a bright future." www.highvoltage.org.uk
"The band excel in churning out atmospheric indie rock with a pinch of pop and punk attitude that propels them away from the mass population of new British bands." www.dailydischord.com
"Jagged guitar slices fuse with sweet but plaintive lead lines around tightly-wound rhythms...with urgent vocals over a stop-start rhythm and ripping guitars - their explosive precision-punch energy was there for all to enjoy." www.leedsmusicscene.net
Woah! Whats that terrible noise?! Wait a minute, its Wintermute on the TV! Oh right, i take it back then.

"Two tracks here that amply furnish a very ownable piece of vinyl and successfully whet the appetite for taking in the band's fine live performance." WhisperinAndHollerin.com

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.
