Composed of Nick Thorburn (Islands/The Unicorns), Ryan Kattner (Man Man), Joe Plummer (Modest Mouse) and sometimes actor Michael Cera, Mister Heavenly “draws inspiration from a shared love of 1950s vocal-based R&B classics by ensembles like the Penguins, the Platters, and the Moonglows, and also a fascination with ill-fated romance,” according to their Sub Pop page. The band is on tour in support of their just-released debut Out of Love.
