MS MR – HOW DOES IT FEEL
Critically acclaimed music duo Lizzy Plapinger and Max Hershenow, better known as MS MR, are back with the new album HOW DOES IT FEEL. The highly anticipated album features the lead single ‘Painted’ an explosive track with whirling melodies and layered hooks to create a full-sounding pop track that was the most played track on Triple J earlier this month is currently sitting in the top 10. The music video for ‘Painted’ can be seen here.
HOW DOES IT FEEL features 12 new high-octane songs that finds MS MR returning to the visceral, bare-bones intimacy that launched the band just three years ago. For the first time, the duo teamed up with fellow musicians to co-write new songs — Tove Lo for the album’s ‘Pieces’ and MNDR for ‘Tripolar’. MS MR’s drummer Zach Nicita also co-wrote and co-produced a handful of new tracks. The band once again collaborated with multi-Grammy award winner Tom Elmhirst (Adele, Amy Winehouse, Arcade Fire, Beck) to mix the album at Electric Lady Studios.
The haunting vocals of Plapinger give HOW DOES IT FEEL an edge to the bands sound that was described by Billboard as “pulse-pounding”. The track ‘Cruel’ is a perfect example of the layering vocals and word painting that give lyrics such as “I can’t hide behind words, are you just being cruel” depth and meaning that make MS MR so unique. Other tracks such as ‘Reckless’ take the album in a new direction with a more up-beat sound for more of a fun dance-track.
