Recently I was scrolling through iTunes’s new releases section and came upon a song titled “Reflections” by a band named MisterWives. Ever since then I can’t stop listening to the band.

After downloading the song, it became an instant classic among the many others on my iPod. MisterWives kept their original sound on the album and did not change a thing since I downloaded their free single “Reflections.”

Recently they released a new album called “Our Own House.” This track appears on the album and turns out to be quite joyful. It is one of my favorites because it has a feel-good beat along with blissful lyrics that begin the album. This is a great introduction to the album because MisterWives tells how they built their own house with love in mind. Like that house built on love, this album seems to be built on the same foundation.

The second track “Not Your Way” picks up the beat with faster paced music, but still keeps the distinct sound of the lead vocalist. I can’t help but dance to this song due to the lively chorus.

Another song I really like is “Vagabond” because of the overall energetic sound of it. The lyrics are happy which makes me happy. My favorite lines are “You’ve been up and down, down, you’ve been low, low, low.” I can relate to what they say in the song, and I’m sure most people can. If you’re having a bad day, I would recommend this uplifting tune.

“Box Around The Sun” is also another stand-out track from the album. The song might not be as bubbly as its predecessors, but that doesn’t stop it from being one that I’ll listen to on repeat. It has a smooth vibe.

“Imagination Infatuation” also qualifies as a gem. It seems like the guitar sound is the key to this song. The track is fast-paced, and the singer shows off her distinctive vocal talent. I was drawn to the song because of the creative title and judging by my enjoyment with the rest of the album, I thought it would be worth at least one listen.

Whether you are a person who loves the alternative genre or are in need of more great music, MisterWives is a great band to uplift your mood. This band is far enough along in their career that they have two albums to choose from. One thing is for certain, you won’t be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars.
