Featuring members of legendary Perth bands Umpire, Adam Said Galore and Blue Tile Lounge, Mukaizake combine intricate, dynamic guitar parts, borrowing heavily from math-inspired indie rock, with highly accessible song structures and strong melodic vocals. Their songs feature organic, reactive playing, with a depth and subtlety that is revealed on repeat listens. After a lengthy absence from the Australian music scene, Mukaizake are set to release <em>Unknown Knowns</em>, the stunning follow up to their highly acclaimed 2003 album <em>Mapping the Static</em>.

<em>Unknown Knowns</em> will see its official Australia release on December 11th, 2009 preceded by its US and worldwide digital release on November 17th. The first single to be taken from the album, ‘The Yeah Conditioner’, will be released on October 6th.
