Review: MisterWives’ Fiery Fourth Studio Album, ‘Nosebleeds’

With their fiery fourth album ‘Nosebleeds,’ MisterWives tap into something entirely new while pulling more from their roots than we’ve ever heard before. ‘Nosebleeds’ is focused and intentional, holding something for everyone while threading a singular needle through all fourteen tracks.

Stream: ‘nosebleeds’ – misterwives, i t’s easy to tell when a band or artist tries to mold themselves into what they think people want..

There is always a trend, a sound, a look (the list is never ending) of what is “in” and what people are responding to at the moment. With an industry as difficult as this one, there is no doubt it’s easy to get lost in it all, and in doing so, forget why you go into it in the first place. The artists who are able to silence outside influences and ignore “experts” who tell them what will and won’t work are not-so-ironically the ones that people resonate with the most.

Misterwives has always been able to do this. It’s never been a question of why they do what they do; it’s almost like they have to. Their music is who they are and it always has been. It’s changed as they have evolved, but always in a way that is natural and never in a way that goes with the status quo. It’s why we’ve always loved them.

With their fiery fourth studio album, Nosebleeds (July 14, 2023 via Photo Finish Records / Resilient Little Records), MisterWives tap into something entirely new while also pulling more from their roots than we’ve heard in albums preceding. It’s hard to find words to describe Nosebleeds ; it’s rock & roll, infectious, intricate, delicate and beautiful. For OG and new fans alike, Nosebleeds is sure to satisfy the masses.

Enjoy our album review below, but more importantly, enjoy this album as it’s crystal clear that every note and lyric were given immense thought and care – your ears should do the same.

Inside Nosebleeds

Out of Your Mind  

Starting off strong with “Out of Your Mind” MisterWives introduces us to the new era in the boldest way. We said it here in our official review of the single, but this track exudes immense confidence, liberation and even levity. It surrounds everything that goes with getting your anger out, feeling good about getting that anger out, and most importantly, knowing you’re better off. It is a perfect table setting for the album that is Nosebleeds .

MisterWives Enter a New Era with Punk Rock Rager, “Out of Your Mind”

Track two is a natural progression of track one. MisterWives shares in an instagram post that “Dagger is a song about the duality of forgiving hard times while not rushing your healing” i.e. the lyrics,

 I dream of a garden, not growing resentment I used to want karma, but I need contentment

While SUPERBLOOM was an album of growth and doing everything you can to move through the hard stuff so you get to the other side, Nosebleeds gives us permission to sit in it. It allows us to be in our feelings and understand that healing can take time. It is perfectly fine to not be okay all of the time.

“Nosebleeds” has been in our airwaves for a bit now and we’ve loved it from the start. The band states that this song was born out of them being told their music was dead on arrival. “Nosebleeds” is currently on the radio circuit, is featured on a variety of streaming platforms playlisting and is nearing 1 million spins on Spotify. Basically, it’s pretty far from DOA.

MisterWives Announce Fourth Studio Album with Title Track “Nosebleeds”

All The Same

It’s easy to feel caught in a never ending loop of trying to feel happy. We do the little things we know will bring us joy. When we do enough of them in a row we start to feel good. These feelings are usually fleeting and result in a comedown that leads us back to square one. “All The Same” is hyper-relatable. It’s hard not to feel exhausted by the ups and downs of life, but this track has that magic that so many MisterWives tracks seem to have; They let us know we are not alone in the things we are feeling. Musically, It has a lighter feel than its preceding three tracks. The musical lift paired with the vulnerability of the lyrics presents a feeling of hope,

Here we go again Close your eyes count to ten Feel it in creeping in Burning right through my skin I know I’m no good at calming myself down But I’m caught in a loop tryna turn it around

“Sideways” is an immediate favorite. With a catchy beat from drummer Eitienne Bowler loring us in before Mandy Lee’s signature vocals take off, this is a track that is as fun as it is therapeutic. Mandy Lee sings the poetic lyrics in a cadence that makes you need to learn the words so you can sing along.

I’m a ticking ticking time bomb Keep making everybody happy fuck what I want I think it’s time to flip the switch and turn the lights on Go turn the lights on (you know you gotta turn the lights on, lights on) Cause you’ve been tripping on your ego And I’ve been bending over backwards I’m in limbo Slipping further away every time I get close Keep my in the nosebleeds You’re in the front row, the front row

“ Trigger Pull ” and “ Too Late ” pull us through to the midpoint of the album with ’80s synth sounds and catchy beats that pull the confidence and attitude of this album to the forefront. You can almost feel how amazing both of these songs will be when performed live. MisterWives has taken their fate into their own hands.

Silver Lining  

“Silver Lining” is so special. A wonderful interlude track holding the most powerful lyrics on the album. Perfectly placed in the middle, it allows you to take in what you’ve just heard, re-orient yourself with the message of the record, and keep going.

Admit you like how it hurts just a little Happiness always felt like a riddle Try to find silver lines Tell everyone you’re fine but you don’t know anyone who is Never comfortable in the middle Always high or low never level Living on borrowed time So you say that you’re fine But you don’t know anyone who is

Trip Around the Sun

We’ve mentioned that Nosebleeds has been able to take influence from every era this band has introduced and form a new sound altogether. For fans of the early days of MisterWives, “Trip Around The Sun” is for you. A melodic guitar lick from Marc Campbell and Mandy Lee’s soft vocals draw you in with the realest lyrics,

Everybody says these are the best years But everyday I wish I was further from here Everybody says you’re so honest But if you knew the truth I don’t think you’d want it No I don’t think you’d want it I know all the cracks on the ceiling Memorize everywhere the paint is peeling Trace my body down on the carpet Try to tell myself that I haven’t lost it That I haven’t lost it

This track breaks down what it is like to feel like you’re not enough, while also leaving space for hope that things are going to get better. “Trip Around The Sun” reminds us that we probably will never have it all figured out, but with each year that passes, we will try to be better.

Flower Moon

“Flower Moon” is a standout of the album. Musically, this song is so unique. It captures the vulnerability of being so in love and not wanting to bring problems of your past to the future. When you’re not used to things being good and then they finally are, it can be the hardest thing to wrap your head around. “Flower Moon” is the motion of trying to do just that.

I’ve been up for three nights With my head and my heart in a fist fight Underneath the flower moon Wishing you could see the view Tryna keep it all together But we both know I’m not getting any better Lonely in a crowded room Only one I want is you

Broken Glass

While a lot of Nosebleeds is sitting in the pain and allowing yourself to feel all the emotions, “Broken Glass” feels like a breath of fresh air. It is a song that could only be born out of allowing yourself to feel angry. The lyrics say it all,

Like a thief in the night Having stolen what’s mine Haven’t wasted my time on too many tries I’m so sick of the past Break my neck looking back And I can’t keep on dancing on broken glass When did you forget to have fun? Grow up so fast when you’re young Lose yourself trying be someone For everyone

“Other Side” is the struggle of trying to appreciate what you have rather than always thinking the grass is greener. We are hardwired to compare, but when you stop comparing you might realize that what you have is pretty good. Musically, this song is infectious. You can’t listen to it without wanting to move and sing along. The bridge of this track, melodically and lyrically, is powerful.

What you want is what you have Don’t look forward don’t look back What you want is what you have Don’t look forward don’t look back Sidelines Little house, lemon tree I got everything I need Picket fence the irony I got everything I need

End of My Rope

“End Of My Rope” is one that we can’t help but to picture as a live performance. MisterWives is a band who puts everything into their live shows, and with lyrics like,

Step into the light and go dance yourself free

we can almost envision the dance party that will ensue when this song is performed live.

Ultraviolet

“Ultraviolet” is by far and wide the most vulnerable song on the album. With a simple guitar melody by Marc Campbell and Mandy Lee’s piercingly beautiful vocals, this song is timeless. What better way to end an album, then with lyrics that say,

Information tidal wave Gotta put the phone away And look up at this pretty place God it’s such a pretty place

Nosebleeds is a raw, beautiful, intense, and fun album.

It allows us to find comfort in the discomfort. It gives us permission to feel exactly as we are feeling rather than always trying to mask our emotions. It has everything for everyone while still being so focused and threading a singular needle throughout all fourteen tracks. Nosebleeds is an album of liberation, freedom and hope. While MisterWives have always been a band to march to the beat of their own drum, their fourth studio album solidifies their creative prowess and the fact that there will only ever be one MisterWives, regardless of what they decide to create next.

We have been lucky enough to sit with it for a little bit, now it’s your turn. We’ve said it before, but MisterWives put on one of the best live shows we’ve ever seen – We can’t wait to hear these songs come to life at the Don’t Look Down Tour with Bishop Briggs this fall.

MisterWives

Either a sucker punch square in the face or extreme elevation can cause a nosebleed. In essence, this phenomenon occurs at the lowest of low moments and during the highest of high moments. MisterWives examine both ends of this spectrum in their music. The platinum-certified Los Angeles-based quintet—Mandy Lee [vocals], Etienne Bowler [drums, production], Marc Campbell [guitar], Mike Murphy [keyboards], and William Hehir [bass]—absorb life’s ups and downs and recalibrate them in the form of snappy alternative rock anthems underlined by unexpectedly hip-shaking rhythms and identifiable tattoo-worthy lyrics.

They meet everyone in the middle of these extremes on their fourth full-length offering, Nosebleeds [Resilient Little Records/Photo Finish Records].

“The title encompasses multiple meanings,” Mandy notes. “There’s the physical aspect of taking relentless punches and visibly showing the effects. There’s another aspect of being up high outside of the world. We’re exploring all of these sides. I tried to be vulnerable and raw about my experience. As a kid, music was my escape and my safe space. At a really tumultuous time, I needed to write and feel excited about music once more. It was cathartic for what I’d been through.”

“The theme is fitting in terms of how we started,” Etienne adds. “We had no band or shows, but we had an excitement about making music and dreaming of what was going to happen. Not matter what stage you’re at, this excitement helps you get to the next level. A decade later, the same innocence returned to us.”

Back in 2012, MisterWives came to life around a spirit of collaboration. The push-and-pull between the unpredictable soundscapes and Mandy’s emotionally charged delivery defined their signature style across albums such as Our Own House [2015], Connect the Dots [2017], and Superbloom [2020]. The latter garnered critical acclaim from NYLON , PAPER , DuJour , Today.com , and MTV , to name a few. Tallying over half-a-billion streams total on their catalog, “Reflections” notably went platinum, and “Our Own House” reached gold status. Emerging as a fiery live presence, they toured alongside everyone from TWENTY ONE PILOTS and Panic! At The Disco to WALK THE MOON and Thirty Seconds To Mars in addition to selling out headline jaunts of their own.

Over the course of the last three years,  Mandy and Etienne endured the dissolution of friendships, a split from their label, and the uncertainty of the Global Pandemic. So, they hunkered down in Etienne’s Pasadena studio and poured all of these experiences and emotions into what would become Nosebleeds . At the same time, they launched their own Resilient Little Records and struck up a partnership with original label home Photo Finish.

“When we started out, we were recording in Etienne’s closet after our double shifts at restaurant jobs,” recalls Mandy. “It wasn’t for the sake of success or having a career; it was because we loved music. After we really got into Nosebleeds , the new music brought us back to why we started in the first place.”

“There were a lot of full circle moments,” Etienne agrees. “We hit the reset button and were able to move forward.”

Bursting at the seams with creativity, they tore into the next chapter with “Out Of Your Mind” in 2023. Powered up by a distorted riff, venomous verses, and a disarmingly catchy chant, PAPER immediately hailed it as “a bloodthirsty breakup diatribe , ” and Atwood Magazine promised, “MisterWives have entered a new era, and like always, we’re here for it . ”

“‘Out Of Your Mind’ was an unapologetic response to the combination of all the people who told me I wasn’t good enough and things weren’t going to work out,” she admits. “This was me not giving up and showing resilience in the face of adversity. As women, we’re taught to be polite, small, and palatable—something for everyone. I don’t want to be something for everyone; it’s an impossible goal I’m unlearning, and this album was a great lesson in trusting myself and my truth without needing external validation or approval.”

Meanwhile, the title track and single “Nosebleeds” fuses a thick bassline and airy guitar to a dancefloor-ready groove. Mandy’s intonation flutters between an attitude-laden hook and swooning synth-laden bridge as she snarls, “I’m up in the nosebleeds, I’m down in the seats, I see a thousand faces that look just like me . ” It spirals out on a smoldering send-off, “Wondering what it might be like, just for one night, I didn’t care what they all think . ”

“I love the realization of it,” she smiles. “You think your experience is so unique and you’re the only one who feels like you do. However, the song puts you in an arena. When you look around, you see a crowd just like you—which is beautiful.”

Elsewhere, neon keys and warbling spacey sonics augment her vivid lyricism with otherworldly energy on “End of My Rope.”

Mandy goes on, “ ‘End Of My Rope’ was written at the end of the album where we wanted absolute freedom and escapism from the trenches of life both personally and collectively. While stepping into the light to dance yourself free isn’t going to solve all your problems, allowing yourself to still have joy as an act of rebellion in the face of hard times is vital to our existence and what everyone deserves.”

On the finale “Ultraviolet,” delicately plucked acoustic guitar sways beneath a pensive and poetic denouement. “It was an intense way to end the record,” Etienne says. “We’re constantly working on being happy, and it’s an endless struggle. It’s not just ‘happily ever after ; ’ it keeps going.”

Nevertheless, MisterWives are there for you.

“For me, this band is absolute self-expression,” Mandy leaves off. “I think it translates to the amazing people who support our music. Whether you’re at your happiest or saddest or somewhere in the middle, the show will always be a safe and celebratory space to be your authentic self and a reminder that you’re not alone.”
