press release: Recently, Mipso premiered the official video for “Momma,” off of their current album Old Time Reverie via TheBoot.com. The album, which was released last fall, is now available for fans to purchase on 180-gram vinyl. The song, written by Jacob Sharp, was inspired by the emotions of losing his mother to cancer. Of the video, Jacob states, “… the moment where the absence of your most loved one no longer dominates your day to day. For me, it’s simultaneously the most unsettling and comforting part of the mourning process, and this video tries to show that nuance.”

Mipso released their latest studio album, Old Time Reverie, in late 2015 to rave reviews from critics and fans alike. The record shot up the Billboard charts, where it landed at #1 on the Billboard Bluegrass Chart and in the Top 25 of the Billboard Heatseakers Chart.  With songwriting hailed as “smartly written, hewing surprisingly close to gospel and folk while still sounding modern and secular.” (Acoustic Guitar), Mipso’s Old Time Reverie was named among the “Best Records of the Year” by The Guardian - for the band’s “aptidude for stunning harmonies” and for its “lush and moving songs that feel as fresh as a warm spring rain.”

With over 400 shows under their belt so far, and the permanent addition of band mate Libby Rodenbough, Old Time Reverie is a reflection of Mipso’s musical and personal growth.  Their gripping, mature sophomore release finds the quartet expanding their sonic resources while doubling down on their experimentation with string band tradition.
