Review: MisterWives - Our Own House

New York-based indie-pop band MisterWives are at it again with the release of their latest album, Our Own House. The trio, consisting of leading lady Mandy Lee, William Hehlr and Etienne Bowler, have brought together a mix of easygoing pop songs with a retro indie sound to create this latest release.
The twelve-song album appropriately starts with title track, “Our Own House”, offering a glimpse into the band’s signature old-time, fun lovin’ feel. Popular songs like “Reflections” and “Vegabond” follow. The majority of Our Own House consists of quick tempo’d, feel-good tracks, and the almost preppy attitude would be overwhelming without the addition of “Coffins” and “No Need for Dreaming”, which manage to slow things down a bit.
Culminating with “Queens”, Our Own House, overall, leaves a good and lasting impression of MisterWives’ overall style. The mix of tracks gives the record a relatively diverse sound, and by combining previously released songs with newer ones, it manages to appeal to both old fans and those unfamiliar with the band’s music.
