DEAR MISTY : SELF TITLED DEBUT LP

Dear Misty will release their self titled debut album in January 2026. The songs were written by bandleader Eric K***z and recorded by the band over a three year period with the help of Jason Reif at Freestone Productions. The album’s themes wrestle with the tension between idyllic nostalgia and childhood trauma, all while owning one’s place in the present moments of adulthood.

For the cover art, K***z worked with Deming King Harriman to create an uncanny cinematic scene, a vintage boat sitting like a proverbial fish out of water asking its most vital existential questions, while a cherished heirloom hangs surreally from the sky.

On October 17, the band will release its fourth single from the album, entitled Insecure Co***ne.

You can help bring this album to fruition by contributing to the band’s Kickstarter campaign which ends October 31.

takes Lake Wallenpaupack and slows it down moody and contemplative. It builds, grows, and blooms just like a trip to the lake would feel.

gives us a moment of reflection by the figurative dock, if you listen closely you’ll hear the rippling water as you look across its surface.

takes Yellow Cadillac and drives straight into his idiosyncratic universe of witty charm and doesn’t stop until we’re all therapeutically singing communal BGVs around the campfire — yes even you sitting off to the side, have you ever felt that way? I know I have. So come join us.

This was such a fun hyper-local project and we are very grateful to these guys for joining. We hope you enjoy the possibility to stream the songs!

But for those who know it’s no replacement for a moment with the tape deck: a limited number of cassettes are still available at dearmisty.bandcamp.com.
