Mute Records is one of the most influential, commercially
successful, and long-lasting of the British independent record
labels formed in the wake of the late-1970's punk explosion. Yet,
in comparison with contemporaries such as Rough Trade or Stiff, its
legacy remains under-explored. This edited collection addresses
Mute's wide-ranging impact. Drawing from disciplines such as
popular music studies, musicology, and fan studies, it takes a
distinctive, artist-led approach, outlining the history of the
label by focusing each chapter on one of its acts. The book covers
key moments in the company's evolution, from the first releases by
The Normal and Fad Gadget to recent work by Arca and Dirty
Electronics. It shines new light on the most successful Mute
artists, including Depeche Mode, Nick Cave, Erasure, Moby, and
Goldfrapp, while also exploring the label's avant-garde innovators,
such as Throbbing Gristle, Mark Stewart, Labaich, Ut, and Swans.
Mute Records examines the business and aesthetics of independence
through the lens of the label's artists.
