MS MR, pronounced "Miz Mister", were a New York pop duo built on a neat division of labor: Lizzy Plapinger out front singing, Max Hershenow behind the controls producing. Plapinger already had a foot in the business as co-founder of the indie label Neon Gold, and the pair's sound arrived fully formed, a moody, glossy mix of indie pop, dream pop and dark wave with a big, theatrical streak.
"Hurricane", from the 2012 Candy Bar Creep Show EP, is the one that stuck: a slow, storm-cloud pulse with Plapinger's voice swelling from a sulk into a full-throated wail. Secondhand Rapture in 2013 kept that gothic-pop glow going with "Think Of You" and "Fantasy", and How Does It Feel in 2015 brightened things a little with "Criminals" and "Painted" without losing the drama. They recorded for Iamsound, Kitsuné and Columbia along the way before calling it a day in 2023.
