Mipso Keep Time on Their Side As a String Band on the Run

Posted Jan 20, 2021
Much like life, time is precious for the North Carolina-based string-band quartet known as Mipso, especially in the age of a deadly virus pandemic. The group, whose birth as a trio of male graduates from UNC was stamped in 2013 with the delivery of Dark Holler Pop, made three more albums before working on this self-titled debut for Rounder Records.
