Episode 53 - MISSIO

This week on Haus Of Cult, we're joined by dark alternative-pop duo MISSIO [https://www.instagram.com/missiomusic]to celebrate the release of their moody and emotionally vulnerable sixth studio album, Love & Heartbreak [https://linktr.ee/missiomusic?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnuSymmcym0PPFiLioV1TuGygrQhrFVgzw7Sl7q9CFMqWQmT6zlHLP5sG4Hqo_aem_UqUwd3DyTCdvMG0v42cBGw]. We dive deep into the band's cinematic return to the darker electronic sound that first captivated fans on their2017 debut album Loner, the emotional journey behind writing an album that chronicles both the highs and heartbreak of a relationship in real time, and how recording remotely across the globe unexpectedly shaped some of the record's most powerful moments. We also explore the creative partnership between MISSIO members Matthew Brue and David Butler, the visual world and fashion that define the band’s universe, the films and art that inspired this new era, and what they ultimately hope Love & Heartbreak provides for their loyal fanbase.  Love & Heartbreak, the new album by MISSIO is out now via Nettwerk Music Group [https://nettwerk.com/].  Follow MISSIO on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/missiomusic [https://www.instagram.com/missiomusic] Stream/Purchase Love & Heartbreak by MISSIO:  https://linktr.ee/missiomusic?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnuSymmcym0PPFiLioV1TuGygrQhrFVgzw7Sl7q9CFMqWQmT6zlHLP5sG4Hqo_aem_UqUwd3DyTCdvMG0v42cBGw [https://linktr.ee/missiomusic?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnuSymmcym0PPFiLioV1TuGygrQhrFVgzw7Sl7q9CFMqWQmT6zlHLP5sG4Hqo_aem_UqUwd3DyTCdvMG0v42cBGw]  Follow The Pretty Cult on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/theprettycult [https://www.instagram.com/theprettycult/?hl=en] Shop/Visit The Pretty Cult:  https://www.theprettycult.com [https://www.theprettycult.com]  Haus Of Cult:  https://www.theprettycult.com/blogs/haus-of-cult [https://www.theprettycult.com/blogs/haus-of-cult]  Learn more about your ad choices.
