Mt. Misery Share The Time It Takes + Drop New EP

If you missed last year’s Once Home, No Longer, then you better rush back to get a copy for yourself, as it was one of the most underrated joys I came across last year. Today, Mt Misery drop a surprise new EP, and we’ve got a nice little pop selection for you to sample below. This tune hangs just on the cusp of dreamy indiepop, utilizing some great guitar sounds that remind me of early Kings of Convenience, though strummed with a bit more of a sparkle. As per usual, their vocals have this summery warmth, like bathing on the beach (be sure to use sunscreen!) with a crisp little wind nibbling at your toes. This band should be one of the biggest ones in indie rock right now. Check out their new The Time It Takes EP today!

Mt Misery Share Taken by the Tide

There’s something really special in store for those that are willing to take some time to sit back and listen to Mt. Misery. The Hartlepool act have this very casual pop style going on, somewhere that toys with the modern guitar pop sounds of Real Estate, though looks upon the melodic nature of some of the best in Aussie pop; it’s sort of a cross between jangling indiepop and every band you’ve been told to love. Their take is perfect, and I love the fact that the vocals have this distinctive clarity that lets you ride with the melody on your back and a smile on your face. Once Home, No Longer is out June 25th via Prefect Records.
