They are becoming more famous by the week, their songs being played by more radio stations. Not to mention being raved about in countless online news articles. In fact, The Guardian raved that MS MR "could be the first superstars of chillwave."

Their music is filled with sounds such as pop, indie, rock, and new wave. Lizzy's voice rings out smooth and clear with the flawfless music of Max. This duo is headed for some major shows in the very near future.

The List, if you like:
Polica
Alpines
Florence+The Machine
Lana Del Rey-
You better listen to them now!

new wave

pop

indie

MS MR just recently released their new album, Second Hand Rapture. Fantasy, the first single of the debut album has earned them a buzz talk of a possible nomination of Best New Artist of the Year. Instead of gushing on how good this album is, why don't you go check it out for yourself?

Well, say goodbye for now to MS MR. I'll post about them when some major news happens.
