<<VISIT www.anticclay.com for MYSSOURI singer's new solo site--Antic Clay (aka Michael Bradley). >> MYSSOURI is a four-piece band from Atlanta, Georgia, with a heady, haunting evocative sound woven with a dark rock/western-soul sensibility that pays homage to the band's numerous influences, delivered with a strong and cinematic sense of place--namely mythic Western America; all solidly built around the vocal and songwriting talent of group leader Michael Bradley. MYSSOURI gives you sweet collapse. Under an indifferent night sky, reeling from life, love, hatred and loss, questions of God and The Devil, you're clutching the earth for some sense of order, spent from the effort. They'll lift you up, then floor you; beguile you, then overwhelm you. Guitars and lap steels scream and howl, wail then mourn; furious, then gorgeous. The bass and drums merge like precariously bottled thunder. Your pulse follows. And MB's hugely emotive delivery shares the same stretch of lost highway with the familiar timbre of Jim Morrison, Nick Cave, Ian Curtis (Joy Division), Stuart Staples (Tindersticks), the plaintive wail of Roger Waters and the cynical baritone narrative of Leonard Cohen. Seductive, then sullen, then wrathful. MYSSOURI have taken a rusted blade to the fallen tree of genre-pigeonholing and carved an ever-evolving darkindierock/country/goth/blues hybrid.
