mssv (mike baggetta + stephen hodges + mike watt) creates music that is a heretofore unimagined hybrid of a punk power-trio, noir-tinged adventure music and a dreamy experimental rock band, though they prefer the term “post-genre.”
Their latest full-length album On And On is the 3rd studio album featuring brand new songs that were written by Baggetta before their 58-show 2023 US tour and performed every night, then recorded and produced by Chris Schlarb at BIG EGO Studio in Long Beach, CA immediately after, and features artwork by the great John Herndon (Tortoise, A Grape Dope, Isotope 217).
On And On is an exciting and trippy psychedelic fever dream of a concept album that really brings out the core of its story: at its heart it is an album where all the works combine to create an endless episodic journey through the temporal and seemingly fleeting nature of society, personality, music, and life and death on Earth, only to realize that all of these are also endlessly repeating. This is a newly evolved lens for the music of mssv, deftly displayed as a high concept love letter to everyday life.
There is still the impression of “pressure, combustion, power, and hissing clouds of sonic poetry,” as Premier Guitar said, alongside the sonic exploring that comes from a band that has spent a lot of time together crafting their vision, as well as making room for guests like J Mascis, Petra Haden and Nels Cline on some of their previous releases.
