Mute Angst Envy first formed in 1987 in San Jose, California. The early period of the band culminated in the release of the Trust EP on Epithet Records. The Archetype/Trust CD, released in April 1992 on 21st Circuitry Records, charted on college stations around the country and was distributed both nationally and internationally. Mute Angst Envy supported this album with many headlining shows, as well as supporting touring bands such as Xymox and the Wolfgang Press. In 1995, the band took a hiatus, and in 2004, Mute Angst Envy started playing and recording again.

The latest Mute Angst Envy release, South 11th Street (Kitchen Whore Records), is a study in extremes. Beauty and aggression play opposing forces throughout the album. The darkly melodic songs range from atmospheric dreamscapes to heavy rock. This album contains new material and previously unreleased tracks. Includes MAE's version of the Cure's "The Figurehead".
