drewby 9,246 Posted April 14, 2013 MS MR is a male and female duo from NYC. Their music is compared to Lana's and Florence's (which is very evident in Bones) They are also signed to IAMSOUND (s/o to the Charli fans) In the fall of 2012 they released their EP "Candy Bar Creep Show" Now in mid-May they are releasing their first LP "Secondhand Rapture" If you haven't heard of them before, I strongly urge you to check their music out. They also have 2 compilations entitled Track Addict on their soundcloud that are perfect and downloadable. https://soundcloud.com/msmrsounds Last but not least, they most recently opened for Jessie Ware 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madrigal 2,616 Posted April 14, 2013 I love MS MR!!! Their EPs are really good, and "Ash Tree Lane" a really great song to wake up to. I'm so excited to hear the studio version of "Salty Sweet" and "Big Teeth Small Kisses..." the album is gonna be really great. I just wish it had more songs...I went to see how many they had registered, and some of the other titles sounded really good. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jord 3,481 Posted April 14, 2013 Do they have any official free downloads except for the remix on SoundCloud? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Cuomo 3,319 Posted April 14, 2013 Ohh, I've heard about them! Bones is really good, I see myself becoming a big fan. I'm really excited for the album since the EP is great. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drewby 9,246 Posted April 14, 2013 Do they have any official free downloads except for the remix on SoundCloud? Nope. I illegally downloaded the EP though since I'll buy the album Also I'm pressed that we already have 5/12 songs on the album in full HQ already since they've been officially released. IAMSOUND must be pushing their artists to do that 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liam 560 Posted April 14, 2013 I bought their available music on iTunes last night! I really love Hurricane. Bones and Fantasy are really good too. I'm not keen on Dark Doo Wop or Ash Tree Lane though. Hopefully I'll like the album! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kittren 209 Posted April 14, 2013 I really like what I've heard from them so far. But I didn't have time to check all of their songs. I've heard Bones in Pretty little liars, it is a really good song But my favorite is Fantasy. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deleted User 1,353 Posted April 15, 2013 I'm sorry if that shows me as some kind of hardcore hipster (which, i am not, and I hate stereotypes, but it seems the only way for average people with lazy minds to identify and categorize things, even people), but these kinds of bands that surface via internet and social media, always tend to lower their material quality because they suddenly become rush when they have a high relevance moment. And they are rushed to release music in those moments, and their albums end up being two or three tracks, and the rest plain old boring album fillers. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It can happen, and sadly sometimes does, but I would love them to take on a more mainstream sound. I've just had enough sadcore from the first five songs to last me through the whole twelve. We'll just have to see what the album will be like...from what Lizzy has said in interviews, it seems like 'twill be pretty eclectic. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
