Candy Bar Creep Show by Ms Mr

Candy Bar Creep Show, the first EP from New York duo MS MR, came out on Iamsound on September 14, 2012, on vinyl and as a download, and it announced a band with a taste for glamour and gloom in equal measure. Lizzy Plapinger sings, Max Hershenow builds the tracks, and between them they make indie pop that keeps wandering off into dream pop haze and dark wave shadows.

"Hurricane" is the calling card, a slow, swooning storm of a song, and in Germany, where the single made the charts, the EP was reissued on CD in January 2013 with the song's name bolted onto the title. "Bones" found a second life on television, soundtracking a teaser for Game of Thrones' third season. Four of its tracks were carried over to the duo's full-length debut, Secondhand Rapture, the following May, which makes this the rough sketch for that record.
