Mt. Misery and the dreamy indie rock croon of "I Was Wrong" (Official Video)

 

"It's hard to hear above the noise"

Listening to Mt. Misery's dreamy floating "I Was Wrong" with it's tender moments strung together like love letters hanging from a string tight rope across a bedroom and you realize the beauty of earnest simplicity. The band grew out of a solo project of Hartelpool (UK) based multi-instrumentalist Andrew Smith. Graced with Smith's pretty croon and melodies held up by pearly guitars, harmonies, and a sort of 60's Mersey Beat aesthetic bended with 90's indie rockish tones it all feels utterly beautiful and downright endearing.

[Mixed in Los Angeles by Kenny Gilmore (Chris Cohen, Weyes Blood, Ariel Pink etc), I Was Wrong features backing vocals from Jodie Nicholson and the video was shot on a phone with a huge £0 budget.]

Initially a solo-project for Hartlepool based multi-instrumentalist Andrew Smith, Mt. Misery ‘officially’ became a band in early 2019 and quickly became firm favourites of the North East indie-pop fraternity.

Sharing stages with the likes of Johnny Marr, Paul Smith, Bill Ryder Jones, Plastic Mermaids, Micah Erenberg and Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab, Mt. Misery’s endearing vocals and shimmering guitars made them a must see act at some of the region’s finest festivals including: This Is Tomorrow, Twisterella, Tipping Point Live, Heelapalooza and Songs From Northern Britain, to name but a few.

With influences including Chris Cohen, Real Estate, Nap Eyes, Andy Shauf, Neil Young, Teenage Fanclub and Big Star, Mt. Misery’s music is imbued with wistful melodies and sepia tinted charm.

With two self-recorded, self-released EPs under their belts, Mt. Misery have already received airplay from Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6 Music and extensive support from the regional BBC Introducing team, who tipped their hats with two ‘Track of the Week‘ accolades and multiple live sessions.

Autumn 2019 saw the band embark on their first UK tour, where they joined Canadian artist Micah Erenberg (Sleepless Records) as both his backing band and his support band.

Tipped by God Is In The TV, Spotlight UK & NeVolume as a band to lookout for in 2020, Mt. Misery are currently working on their debut album.
