Ahead of his first time performing at Splendour in the Grass, today MUTO announces his anticipated debut EP Arcane to be released on 4 July, and an accompanying national tour. Featuring current single ‘Tessellating’ ft. Oliver Dibley which landed at #1 on Hype Machine, the 7 track Arcane EP also includes previous singles ‘Say Nothing’ ft. Emerson Leif, which also reached #1 on Hype Machine and topped the iTunes Electronic Chart, and electronic adventure, ‘Wildfire’ ft. Deutsch Duke.
Arcane is a body of work that’s ever so intricate and full to the brim of atmosphere. It moves from storming instrumental pieces to stunning vocal performances to synth-driven hip hop to masterfully crafted grooves, with Sweden’s Novaa and Melbourne HVNCOQ rounding out the features on the EP. Arcane is a brave adventure into programmed sound and is a testament to MUTO’s ability in songwriting, sound design and alliance
MUTO’s eager to share his new work with the masses and following the Splendour berth, today’s national tour announce will do just that. Hitting every capital city around the country, the tour will solidify his live presence which last year saw him conquer a 26-date tour across Australia, and be handpicked by ODESZA as main support on their European album tour. He has previously played must-see sets on the triple j unearthed stage at BIGSOUND, This That Festival, and Listen Out (Melbourne) festivals.
MUTO has accumulated over 11 million streams on Soundcloud and 7 million across all singles on Spotify, and became 2017’s #2 most played artist on triple j unearthed. He has landed high rotation on triple j and widespread community radio support.
Over the past 12 months, MUTO’s acclaim has gone from strength to strength and there is no slowing down from here.
