Mute Duo has been played on NTS in shows including Don't Trip w/ Margarita, featured first on 16 December 2019. Songs played include Landmusik, Derived From Retinas and Last Greys.

Chicago’s Mute Duo is comprised of Sam Wagster on the pedal steel guitar (Cairo Gang, Anatomy of Habit) and Skyler Rowe on drums and percussion (Rash, Anatomy of Habit) who occasionally add other instruments as supportive layers, drawing from influences like late-era Talk Talk, The Dirty Three, and the instrumental soundtrack tradition, landing somewhere in between ambient country and free jazz.
