ABOUT THIS BAND

"Mt. Misery sit in that fine lineage of Northern bands who battle encroaching darkness with luminous, endlessly beautiful pop songs... A haloed piece of Northern guitar pop" - Clash

"Shades of Big Star, Dr. Dog and Teenage Fanclub leap out from the speakers... an essential summer discovery" - Record Collector

“Pillowy pop gems” - Raven Sings The Blues

Hartlepool indie-pop trio Mt. Misery released their debut album 'Once Home, No Longer' via Prefect Records (Ex-Void, The Natvral, EggS) in 2021, alongside a long-since sold-out limited edition Rough Trade Exclusive vinyl. A new EP, supported by the PRS Foundation’s ‘Open Fund’, will be released in Spring 2022.

The band’s sound reflects a timeless but beautiful heartbreak for fans of Real Estate, Whitney and Alvvays, but under the surface, there is a mature determination to succeed that can only be cultivated in the working-class environs of a northern town.

Prefect Records label head Mark Dobson (ex-The Field Mice) was sanguine about how the label came to be releasing Mt. Misery’s album:

“I wasn’t looking for a ‘token’ band from the same town, they could have been from anywhere in the world and I would still want to put this album out. I could hear elements of The Field Mice and a couple of other Sarah bands in there, but also early Belle and Sebastian and peak period Teenage Fanclub - to be honest, it sounds like loads of bands I like, but without really sounding specifically like any of them."
