MuteMath's record label is Warner Brothers records.
In January 2006, the band set out on a tour in support of their self-titled debut album. It was independently released in response to Warner Music Group's indecision on what to do with Mute Math resulting in a marketing stalemate and the threat of the whole project getting shelved. So by late 2005, Teleprompt filed suit against Warner Music requesting Mute Math to be released from their contract while Teleprompt would proceed to promote and sell Mute Math’s self-titled debut on its own. (see Teleprompt Controversy for more details).

Mute Math landed on the covers of Billboard and Pollstar[1] being featured in Alternative Press[2], Paste[3], and Spin[4] as well as on the MTV News program 'You Hear It First'[5]. The group continued to tour vigorously, playing shows to crowds of thousands at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Van's Warped Tour, V Festival, CMJ Music Marathon in New York City, and Voodoo Music Experience in their hometown of New Orleans.
After months of legal wrangling with parent label Warner Bros. Records, Teleprompt settled litigation out of court in August 2006 with a re-negotiated contract with Warner.
WBR re-released the band's debut album Mute Math on September 26, 2006. The fully remastered album features reworked tracks from their Reset EP[6] and a bonus limited-edition live EP. The album debuted at #17 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart.[7]
The band returned to the road in early 2007 with opening dates for The Fray & Wolfmother in various cities and a brief headlining tour in Europe. Flesh And Bones Electric Fun, an exclusive live DVD was released on March 20, 2007 with an accompanying 43-city North American tour that ran through the first of May.
