The story of how this duo was formed is simply caused by an unfinished project. MS (Lizzie Plapinger) and MR (Max Hershenow) were a friend but were not a close friend. In college years, Max was a producer for a band which had not even started or even close to that word. And as they graduated. The project turned out into ashes. Later then, having a fiery skill to produce a music, Max e-mailed Lizzie and asked her (Lizzie runs a record label called Neon Gold Records) for an artist that he could develope. So Lizzie, who happened as an artist too, decided to work with him and develope music together. The reason of why they decided to be quite anonymous. Because they want their music to be judged fairly and easing the subjective opinion from the listeners. Since Lizzie is being well known in the industry.

The chillwave/glitch-pop/gloom rock tunes from MS MR will be easily received by Florence + The Machine’s fan or Lana Del Rey’s. Quoted from Pitchfork “A little more sashay and they’d be Poliça; more rapture and they’d be Florence; throw in some trolling and they’d be Lana (Del Rey).”. The duo have released their E.P titled “Candy Bar Creep Show” on September 14 2012. And it was released via Tumblr. The ep consists of four tracks, they are “Bones”, “Hurricane”, “Dark Doo Woop”, and “Ash Tree Lane”. Their debut single “Hurricane” get good critics from the reviewers and complimented that the song has the enchanting vintage sound. Their latest single , “Fantasy”, which was released on February 4^th 2013 has received more that 500.000 views and mainly giving a good feedback. The duo’s full album (and also debut) will be released on May 14 2013 with a title “Second Hand Rapture”. Who says that Tumblr can only give you unique pictures with acid colours on it? It can give you a good music too.
