Mipso - Old Time Reverie '2015

Tracks list

Spawned from the ongoing renaissance currently enriching and expanding the
traditional vocabularies of old time and bluegrass music, Chapel Hill-based
maverick string band Mipso put time-honored tools to work on new terrain, with
evocative, intoxicating results on their new release Old Time Reverie. Years of
constant touring have tightened their attack, lending a new degree of authority
and cohesion to their sound. When Mipsos 2013 debut, Dark Holler Pop, rose to #8
on Billboard s Bluegrass charts, the success surprised a lot of people including
the band themselves. Well, we didn t think so many people would embrace it,
laughs mandolin player Jacob Sharp, and we definitely didnt know we were a
bluegrass band. Two years on, Old Time Reverie produced by Mandolin Oranges
Andrew Marlin at Chapel Hills Rubber Room reflects the quartets continued
musical and personal growth with their gripping and mature sophomore release.
Its songs encompass and attempt to reconcile the contradictions of growing up in
an evolving South, artfully careening from desperation to hope over the course
of eleven atmospheric, engrossing original Others listeners, artists, fellow
travelers have taken note of the young bands sincerity and success. Mipso has
toured many a mile, wrote Tony Award-winning author, composer, and musician
Bland Simpson, and whether one calls their music renegade traditional or dark
holler pop, it scarcely matters. Theirs is the deeply soulful sound of North
Carolina at its striving, yearning best, their straight from-the-heart songs
delivered with high artistry and powerhouse precision in every voice, every
note.
