i would say it's mostly in the classic rock/new wave genre, circa 
1977-1981.  reference points for me are led zep, queen, floyd, bowie, 
and of course The Cars.  mark produces, engineers and mixes all the 
tracks, and he plays lead guitar.

the album is done and mastered, don't know what the marketing plan is 
for it yet.

they of course have the inevitable myspace page: 
http://www.myspace.com/hotmute

there's a pretty good selection of tracks on there.  you got the upfront 
pop/new wave stuff like "she drives a car" and "medicine" and the more 
prog rock stuff like "cattle for the gods."

it's approximately 18 billion miles removed from the electronic/meat 
beat stuff he does.  you are warned!!
