DC based Mission South released their latest EP, Migration, Vol. 2 in April. The album has gotten a good deal of play here at QNYC Headquarters. It’s one of the few albums released in the last couple of years that gets played from beginning to end without a track being skipped. It’s also the first album released this year that I’ve fallen completely in lust with. It’s earthy. It’s bluesy. It’s soulful. It’s tight. It’s beautiful. It’s excellence. As I sit here writing this, the track “Free” is playing. It’s rainy out with a bit of a chill and all I can think about is grabbing a blanket, a cup of tea and going to sit on the porch with my headphones on. It’s one of those kinds of records.
I threw some questions out and Mission South guitarist/vocalist Dan Miller threw some answers back. And this, is the result.
Quirky NY Chick (QNYC): How would you describe your sound to the uninitiated?
Dan Miller (DM): It's somewhere between bad and terrible. As if Phil Collins had a baby with Pantera. Haha, no. It is all over the map though. It's got some blues/rock grit, with pop sensibilities, and folk sensitivity.
DC based band Mission South released their delightful album, Migration Vol. 2last week. I'm really digging this release. The record shines with a soulful groove that wraps itself around you like an old friend. The highlights are ... the whole EP! There's not one song on this effort that I don't like.
They recently released a terrific video for the track "Peaches". Check it out below.
