The Mystery Lights — the Daptone/Wick Records’ five piece who make “superior Brooklyn psych-garage” (BrooklynVegan) — recently announced their third studio record Purgatory, set for release on September 13. Today, they follow up with another cut from the new LP: “Mighty Fine & All Mine.” Listen / watch “Mighty Fine & All Mine” and preorder Purgatory here.

While The Mystery Lights make their way back from some well-earned rest and relaxation, Purgatory is their most ambitious offering yet as they deliver an eclectic mix of psychedelia, punk, art rock, and surprisingly even a splash of country — all with Wayne Gordon (Kali Uchis, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, BADBADNOTGOOD) back in the producer’s chair.

Though Purgatory sees The Mystery Lights playing their hand at some genre-fluidity (from the punk-meets-psych title track which “jangles and distorts with the sort of dark elation that should bring quite a few more fans into the fold” (Consequence), to The Kinks-esque earworm “Sorry I Forgot Your Name”), there’s a cohesiveness threaded by the elevated musicianship, earnest lyrics, and attention to detail that make for a fiercely raw, unabashedly catchy album.

As Purgatory’s opening track, “Mighty Fine & All Mine” lives hard and fast, subscribing to a Botox-free, 60’s rock and roll style complete by campy horror, playful occultism, and barroom sweetness.

The Mystery Lights story begins in 2004 in the small town of Salinas, California when friends Michael Brandon and Luis Alfonso — whose shared fondness for groups like The Mc5, Velvet Underground, Dead Moon, and The Fall (to name a few) — joined forces to craft their own brand of unhinged rock and roll. From there they spent the better part of 10 years touring relentlessly before migrating to Queens, New York in 2014.

With a live show known for its visceral energy and relentless assault — leaving little to no stoppage between songs — they barreled through countless NYC haunts and DIY venues, quickly amassing a fervent local following. The buzz soon caught the attention of Daptone Records execs who were in the beginning stages of launching a new rock-centric imprint, Wick Records. Impressed by the groups’ groove, endless supply of energy, and understanding of musical history, The Mystery Lights were quickly signed to Wick. Though a rock band at heart, the parallels to what Daptone Records had traditionally looked for in their soul artists was undeniable.

The band is headed back on tour this fall, see all dates below to catch one of their viscerally psychedelic live shows.

The Mystery Lights are: Mike Brandon (lead vocals / guitar), LA Solano (lead guitar), Alex Amini (bass), Lily Rogers (keys), and Zach Butler (drums).
