MISSIO

Austin, Texas’ MISSIO are an electronic duo known for their dark, emotive pop. Formed in 2014, MISSIO feature singer/songwriter Matthew Brue and producer/instrumentalist David Butler. Initially, the project began as an outlet for Brue’s solo material. However, after he invited Butler to collaborate on a few songs, they decided to move forward together. Recording in Butler’s converted garage/home studio, they began sculpting their brooding, anthemic sound, releasing such tracks as “I Don’t Even Care About You,” “I Run to You,” and “Can I Exist?” By the end of 2015, they had made their debut at SXSW and garnered support slots alongside acts like SAFIA , K. Flay , and others. In early 2017 they delivered the single “Middle Fingers” and signed a recording contract with RCA Records , which released their debut full-length, Loner, in May of that year. A pair of stripped-down EPs, Skeletons, Pt. 1 & Pt. 2, followed in 2018, acting as companion pieces to Loner. MISSIO kicked off 2019 with “Rad Drugz,” the first track released off their second LP The Darker the Weather // The Better the Man, which arrived in April. The duo returned in 2020 with the full-length Can You Feel the Sun. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
