SUPERBLOOM

SUPERBLOOM is the third studio album by American indie-pop band MisterWives, released on July 24th, 2020. The album was announced shortly after the band announced Mandy and Etienne’s decision to separate romantically.

“This album unfolds my journey of finding a superbloom within the barren desert and the needed juxtaposition of the two in order to grow,”

-Mandy in an track-by-track interview with Paper Magazine

Ostensibly a breakup album, SUPERBLOOM is an incredibly personal album written about how Mandy found a superbloom in the “barren desert” of she and Etienne’s separation, a journey out of sadness onto what’s next, and the continuation of the band that the two is in.

When asked if there was a specific message to take away from the album, Mandy said:

Yeah, absolutely. I guess… It seems silly to even talk about a breakup album in the climate of the world when there’s such crazy, big, real life problems that really made all of a sudden, your tiny personal issues that felt life shattering, it feels not small, and I’m not not validating everybody’s struggles, but I guess no matter what people are going through, to know that you can make it to the other side. That the impossible is possible and to keep fighting through.

Five songs from the album were released on November 8th, 2019 in the form of the EP mini bloom.

The band started working on the album in 2018.
