Heading to Australia for the very first time to play the 2013 St Jerome's Laneway Festival, MS MR (pronounced Ms Mister) are also set to treat fans to two very special headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne. Joining them for their club shows is Brisbane production duo, YesYou.
Until recently, the duo behind the moniker were shrouded in mystery, proving themselves to intrigue universally and garnering attention from critics around the world.
"MS MR deliver, ratcheting up the rapture to near-thunderstorm levels: seething percussion, steely vocals, and a sonic fog that buries any lingering pleasantries." - Pitchfork
"Potentially the first superstars of chillwave? Steeped in the ethos and ideas of the era, even if their music is more sweetly strident." - The Guardian, New Band Of The Day
Producing a lovely marriage of Brooklyn and gentle '80s rock n roll, the self-described Tumblr-glitch-pop duo, make music to sink your teeth into. On the back of releasing their critically acclaimed EP, "Candy Bar Creep Show" they've toured with Marina and The Diamonds, Grouplove and most recently wowed crowds at CMJ.
Performing as a band on stage bringing the lushness and energy of their recorded tracks to life, MS MR are a band not to be missed.
"Candy Bar Creep Show" is out now through Sony Music Australia.
