MISSIO

Austin duo MISSIO—Matthew Brue and David Butler—fearlessly break the rules as they fuse elements of rock, electronic, indie, and hip-hop into an unmatched and uncompromising hybrid. They tie seemingly disparate threads together with honest and heartfelt lyrics meant to both provoke and inspire. Following the 2023-2024 Cinco EP series, the pair present their most definitive and dynamic vision with their full-length double-album, I Am Cinco [Nettwerk]. It collates five moods—I Am Sad, I Am High, I Am Awesome, I Am Angry and I Am Crazy—into one.

Since 2015, MISSIO have painted this picture with Loner [2017], The Darker the Weather // The Better the Man [2019], Can You Feel The Sun [2020], and VILLAIN [2022]. Tallying over 1 billion streams, their catalog has notably resonated with the Gold-certified “Everybody Gets High” Between packing houses on tour, they appeared at festivals like ACL and Lollapalooza and incited praise from Atwood, Billboard, Rolling Stone, New Noise and Substream.

The music initially took shape in Austin only to be completed on a creative sojourn to Mexico City. Excited to share the music with the world, everything set the stage for them to finally release I Am Cinco.

“We’ve been to multiple countries and had 10 different sessions to write and record these 28 songs,” David leaves off. “We’re not just here to check a box; we’re here to be prolific.”
