@Emutemusic rocks out with “Say What You Want To Say”

E-MUTE, “Say What You Want To Say”

After the impressive and haunting “Miracle” from last year, British multi-instrumentalist (piano and drums!) E-Mute (aka Theo Mak) returns with a new EP called I Can Pay For It, featuring the rocking “Say What You Want To Say”.  It’s full-tilt aggressive rock featuring a thoughtful story about a soldier going to war characterized as an exercise of futility, which echoes many sentiments of those of us in the Western world.  Not only does E-Mute craft an interesting set of lyrics but backs it all up with effortless-sounding instrumentation and a vocal that at times reminds me of British singer Edwyn Collins.  Check out the song above and pick up I Can Pay For It (also featuring a new mix of “Miracle”, which got to #12 on my personal chart last year). on iTunes.
