MisterWives
Double single "Easy" and "Where Do We Go From Here"
Entitled "Easy" and "Where Do We Go From Here", the songs mark the launch of their new Photo Finish Records / Virgin Music imprint label Resilient Little Records.
"Easy" explores difficult themes of change, loss, and moving through turbulent times with strength and hope. The song features the band's signature mix of explosive synth pop complete with glittering melodies, driving guitars, and soaring vocals. The visuals transport you to an immersive fantasy-filled world with vivid imagery of the natural world taking over a floating home for a fantastical visual and sonic escape.
Infectious, cathartic, and embracing darker notes, "Where Do We Go From Here" is a slight departure for the band sonically and lyrically. MisterWives further explains, "it's what happens when trust is broken and rather than running from the anger, fear and jealousy that comes with that, we made a 4 minute soundtrack for those complex and uncomfortable emotions."
An intensely personal reflection on growth in unexpected places, MisterWives’ last album SUPERBLOOM marked a moment of major transformation for frontwoman Mandy Lee and her bandmates: Etienne Bowler (drums), William Hehir (bass), Marc Campbell (guitar), and Mike Murphy (saxophone). The New York City-bred band’s third full-length, the 19-track epic found MisterWives greatly expanding their already-adventurous sound, introducing new textures and colors to their magnetic form of indie-pop. On the album’s soul-stirring title track, MisterWives close out SUPERBLOOM with a moment of pure triumph and a profound sense of possibility. With its chorus including a lyric Lee later adopted as a mantra in times of self-doubt (“I deserve congratulations, ’cause I came out the other side”), “SUPERBLOOM” draws much of its power from its graceful arrangement of so many potent elements: soulful horns and luminous piano melodies, hard-hitting rhythms and gospel-choir harmonies.
MisterWives have come out the other side stronger than ever and as the band departs from the world of Superbloom and into the next they have launched their own label Resilient Little Records and partnered with PhotoFinish Records/Virgin Music. The new chapter begins with the double single Easy / Where Do We Go From Here? released on May 25th and followed by the band’s biggest headlining tour yet starting the same week.
