Review for Mipso:
North Carolina-based band Mipso recently announced their headlining 2016 Summer Tour that brings their distinctive and stirring indie folk sound to over 25 cities across North America. The tour, which launched mid February, has already seen sold out shows at such venues as City Winery in N.Y., Creative Alliance at The Patterson in Baltimore, Md., One Longfellow Square in Portland, Me., Lost Lake Lounge in Denver, Co., and others. The tour continues next in cities throughout the Midwest, California, and the South.
Following their critically acclaimed debut record, 2013’s Dark Hollar Pop, Mipso released Old Time Reverie in fall 2015 to rave reviews from critics and fans alike. The record shot up the Billboard charts, where it landed at #1 on the Billboard Bluegrass Chart and in the Top 25 of the Billboard Heatseakers Chart. With songwriting hailed as “smartly written, hewing surprisingly close to gospel and folk while still sounding modern and secular.” (Acoustic Guitar), Mipso’s Old Time Reverie was named among the “Best Records of the Year” byThe Guardian - for the band’s “aptidude for stunning harmonies” and for its “ lush and moving songs that feel as fresh as a warm spring rain.”
With over 400 shows under their belt so far, and the permanent addition of band mate Libby Rodenbough, Old Time Reverie is a reflection of Mipso’s musical and personal growth. Their gripping, mature sophomore release finds the quartet expanding their sonic resources while doubling down on their experimentation with string band tradition.
Influenced by the contradiction of their progressive home of Chapel Hill, N.C. and the surrounding rural southern landscapes, Mipso’s Old Time Reverie dips in, explores and mixes the complexities of traditional bluegrass with modern instrumentation and smart pop melodies. The result is an intoxicating, distinctly unique blend of modern day Americana.
Mipso is: Jacob Sharp (mandolin, vocals), Wood Robinson (bass, vocals), Joseph Terrell (guitar, vocals), Libby Rodenbough (fiddle, vocals).
