Description

Featuring 12 brand new ecstatic, high-octane songs including explosive lead single Painted, How Does It Feel finds critically acclaimed music duo MS MR (Lizzy Plapinger and Max Hershenow) returning to the visceral, bare-bones intimacy that launched the band just three years ago. Their 2013 debut Secondhand Rapture had been recorded for a few hundred dollars in spare rooms throughout Brooklyn.

For How Does It Feel, Lizzy and Max returned to their old stomping grounds in late 2014, specifically the neighborhood of Bushwick, where they rented a small room to hammer out new material. For the first time, the duo teamed up with fellow musicians to co-write new songs Tove Lo for the albums Pieces and MNDR for Tripolar. MS MRs drummer Zach Nicita also co-wrote and co-produced a handful of new tracks.

How Does It Feel was recorded in studios in New York and Los Angeles, including Electric Lady Studios, White Bronco Studios and the bands own Creep City Studios. The band once again collaborated with multi-Grammy award winner Tom Elmhirst (Adele, Amy Winehouse, Arcade Fire, Beck) to mix the album at Electric Lady Studios.
