In just a few days, Grammy-nominated alternative rock outfit MUTEMATH will release their fifth studio album, Play Dead. Incorporating rock and electro-pop elements, Play Dead showcases how diverse the band can be. Today we are thrilled to share the latest single from the album, “Break The Fever,” exclusively here on HuffPost. With glistening synths and spell-binding vocals, it’s the perfect midweek pick-me-up that you didn’t even know you needed. Give it a spin below!

Lyrically, “Break The Fever” discusses the noise and internal battles lead singer Paul Meany has to face. With each new day and new experience, voices find their way in his head, giving unsolicited arguments about what he should do next. Needless to say, it’s crippling. “Break The Fever” pushes the idea that with these internal struggles, ultimately you’re in charge of how things will go. With this concept in mind, the track played an important role in the overall shaping of Play Dead. Meany expands:

“The whole mantra of this album came from this song in the line "play dead, don't be afraid tonight." Playing dead became a picture of meditation for me. How to turn off the noise and realign myself back to a sense of wellbeing. How to evade the very thing that's trying to kill me. Thoughts. If I can get control of those, I've got a chance."

It may feel like summer is over, but with “Break The Fever,” the party has only just begun! Play Dead will be released this Friday, September 8th, and is available for pre-order here. Next week the band will be heading out on tour in support of the album on September 14th in Boston and will wrap on October 31st in Chicago.
