When three talented artists come together from the ashes of their former respective award-winning bands, you know they're going to create and deliver great things. NETSUKE have done just that, with the release of their official video for new single 'Mute'. 

The Sydney born and London based trio draw their inspiration from artists such as Bjork and Animal Collective. Now, upon mentioning the name Bjork, the word 'unique' springs to mind, right? Well, Netsuke infuse pop and electronic themes into their music in a way that absolutely scream uniqueness; and we absolutely love them for it.

'Mute' is the perfect example of the bands infusion of the two genres. The song takes you on a dreamy journey, with uplifting electronic sounds, and soft vocals over the top. The song really builds as it progresses; almost as if you're waiting for a large ending with an explosion of sounds. When the ending you're expecting doesn't come and the song stays soft and sweet, it only makes you want to replay the song and start the journey all over again.

The film clip is a perfect match to the description of the sounds heard throughout this enchanting song. It features a teenage girl roaming the streets in search of something magical shining from the sky; only to find that it's unreachable at the end.

While some bands struggle to find their own independent sound in a music industry filled with so much similarity, Netsuke have easily taken a giant leap outside of that crowded box, to stand proudly and confidently on their own.

Check out their sound, and the clip below:
