Never until now have we been so quite thrown back by such a mysterious group. Stumbling across them totally by chance, it’s a given that you’ll more than likely end up falling in love with their single ‘Bones’ just as much as we did. Meet ‘Ms Mr’.
When we said mysterious by the way, we really meant mysterious. Try finding out much about this new pop duo and you’ll be left flat on your face routing through the bare minimum of everything currently available to them. Their identities have been concealed, however not permanent. The idea is to hide away who they are until their debut album release, which makes for an intruiging analogy in itself, right? Right.
Born just shy of six months ago, ‘Ms Mr’ have been hard at work carefully and expertly crafting material that ties in with their own heartfelt inspirations. Mysterious yet wonderful, they’d appeal to perfectionists of the highest regard due to their incredible attention to detail across their whole catalogue of current offerings.
So yeah, who are Ms Mr? Well, pretty much all we know is that they’re an unsigned duo heralding from New York. They have an incredible knack when it comes to making a glitchy and glamorous pop tune and their retro nature oozes elegance. They currently have a 4-track mini album/EP released entitled ‘Ghost City USA’ – a product of months of hard work hidden away in Brooklyn.
If you fancy taking a listen to their EP, it’s available to download absolutely free of charge over on their Bandcamp page here. We will say this – if you want to be ahead of the pack, knowing who these two are before the masses become obsessed, you’d take up our advice and get your hands on a copy of the EP right away.
It’s no secret we love Patrick Wolf, and the only thing that could have made us fall even further in love with this dynamic duo would be a Patrick Wolf cover for example. What’s that? They have? Oh my. Take a listen to their version of Wolf’s ‘Time Of My Life’:
