Very stoked!
SURPRISE: mssv has a new song out today called “Even So” and it’s half (1/2!) of a brand new 7” vinyl release, split with our friends Thousand Dollar Movie, out now on Four Finger Records! Very Limited edition pressing available from the link in comments, and digital available on all your streamers everywhere too if you’re into that kinda thing… Here’s what my buddy Jeremy Radio from Thousand Dollar Movie has to say about it:
“Hey. Jeremy Radio from Thousand Dollar Movie here. We got to open up for mssv (Mike Baggetta, Stephen Hodges, mike watt) a couple of times and it went really well. Both bands aren’t afraid of loud or quiet or improv and I thought it made for a really interesting gig. I asked Baggetta if he’d be into doing a split 7” and he was down but felt we needed a theme. I sent over our song Block Out The Sun and told him a bit about where it was coming from, dealing with grief and the weight of that but trying to look forward with some hope. He wrote Even So based on that, actually using the same harmony and chords from Block Out The Sun! Studios got booked in Charlotte and San Pedro, and the result is a really cool split with a great story, heart, and musical moments, from the spacey cinematic builds of Thousand Dollar Movie to the post-genre guitar of Baggetta with the iconic rhythm section work of Hodges and watt.”
