Today, pop duo Misty Mtn shares “Weren’t Those The Days,” the title track from their forthcoming sophomore EP due out November 5th. Mixed by Ariel Loh (Yoke Lore, Cape Francis) and produced by Lucas Segall of Misty Mtn, “Weren’t Those The Days” is a meditative excursion reinforced by warm synths and intimate textures. The song is equally ethereal and striking due to Segall’s comforting, yet wandering bassline and Mo Trunzo’s delectably hazy vocals. Gracefully delivered by Trunzo, the lyrics "Somewhere along the way / We must have missed our train / We ran along the water tryna find our place" instill self-reflection and the fickleness of youth. “Weren’t Those The Days” captures this feeling of walking around your hometown and letting memories wash all over you.
Mo shares this of the new single:
“Lucas and I started making music together when we were both living in Brooklyn, NY. It was a time in both our lives that felt like such a struggle, but so romantic at the same time. When we started writing ‘Weren’t Those the Days’ life was feeling miles away from anything resembling that period. Discussing that brought on all this imagery for a song about being reminded of an ex-lover by the sights and sounds of the things you shared.”
Misty Mtn’s previous single, “In the Deep End,” is a fever dream of a track bolstered by Mo Trunzo’s full-bodied vocals and Lucas Segall’s otherworldly synths. Trunzo croons “All your fake friends / Left you in the deep end” revealing a portrait of despair while the sonic road is paved with intimacy and wistfulness. The understated yet captivating pop endeavor glides with elegance and tender conviction.
Misty Mtn worked on their upcoming EP during time spent in Montana. They're set to release Weren't Those The Days EP on November 5th with a move back to Los Angeles to pick up where they started pre-pandemic.

Comprised of Montana native vocalist/songwriter Mo Trunzo and Los Angeles native multi-instrumentalist Lucas Segall, these sonic alchemists produce dazzling synth-pop immersed with lush productions, androgynous choral textures, and cherubic vocals. Piloting through entrancing soundscapes and ruminative storytelling, Misty Mtn’s music weaves together the power of yesterday’s memories and tomorrow’s dreams. After spending the last few years between Brooklyn to Los Angeles, Misty Mtn had returned to the Pacific Northwest in 2020, shedding their previous identity in order to catapult into a new spiritual phase.
Stimulated by the organic vocal arrangements of 70s and 80s acts, Misty Mtn’s own distinct aesthetics can be heard on their 2019 self-produced debut EP Missed Your Call. The EP features their single "Drive" that has 1M+ streams. Since releasing their first EP, Misty Mtn has shared the singles “These Lights,” “Robots in the Trees,” and “Woah, I’m Older.” Their music has drawn praise from the likes of KCRW, LADYGUNN, EARMILK, Popdust, The Line of Best Fit, American Songwriter, Culture Collide, and the inclusion on Spotify’s Chill Vibes, Indie Pop, Left of Center, and Fresh Finds: Pop editorial playlists. The duo has toured North America supporting Vancouver Sleep Clinic and Rainbow Kitten Surprise, as well as headlining shows in Los Angeles and NYC.
