Drawing inspiration from 1990s emo and alternative rock, Mundane blends elements of Midwest emo, alt-rock, and indie, resulting in a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh. The album’s concise 27-minute runtime features seven tracks that oscillate between upbeat tempos and introspective moments, capturing the complexities of youth, relationships, and self-reflection.
Lyrically, the album delves into themes of self-doubt, personal growth, and the challenges of navigating adulthood. Tracks like “Riff Raff” and “Fast but Lazy” explore the consequences of reckless behavior and the internal conflicts that arise from them. As the album progresses, songs like “Never Change” and “Summer Day” offer introspective reflections on change and the passage of time. The band’s DIY ethos and commitment to authenticity shine through in both their music and their involvement in Gothenburg’s underground scene, particularly through their work at the Sekten venue. Ultra Sound stands as a testament to Mundane’s ability to craft emotionally resonant music that speaks to the heart of the indie-punk movement.
