MisterWives' 'Our Own House' is epic, emotional disco-pop -- exclusive

Published on January 12, 2015 06:00PM EST

Depending on your perspective, New York’s MisterWives is either an indie band with the sonic sensibilities of a top-tier pop act or a radio-ready pop group with a more bohemian bent than the average Top 40 aspirant. Either way, they’ve racked up over 27 million spins on Spotify over their short career, and so far without the benefit of a breakthrough hit. But the band is likely to have one with its upcoming debut LP Our Own House, out Feb. 24 on Photo Finish/Republic Records—and its title track, which pairs a thumping disco beat with a soaring, emotional melody from lead singer Mandy Lee that combines the best parts of Lorde and The Gossip.

“We built our own house,” the group writes in an email, “from building a musical family filled with the people who care as much about music as we do, to writing the music ourselves, to recording our vision from the ground up, and sharing the most incredible memories along the way. We have given you all we got and we hope you like it, relate to it, dance to it, cry to it. Thank you for being a part of our family.”
