A rare Nashville-native, Jessie Early grew up surrounded by music. Her debut-EP is a blend of singer-songwriter lyrics, pop sensibilities, and a little 80's nod (think: dreamy DX-7s, roto-toms, snares tuned up as high as they'll go, a mid-ballad-modulation, and a fleetwood mac-"gypsy"-inspired-guitar solo). 

Two-years into the recording process, she felt unsettled with how the songs were turning out. With the EP about 75% done, she reached out to producer Jeremy Larson about tracking some strings. She loved working with him so much she turned to him to help her re-work a few songs, do a little extra programming, mix, and master the project. Between her original home-made garageband beats, her husband Aaron's drum parts, and Larson's fresh perspective, the unique beats and arrangements took on a new life that at the core still feel organic, human, and fun. 

She currently spends her days writing mostly for sync placement (with songs featured in ads for Tiffany & Co, Delta Faucets, and ABC Family's "Switched at Birth"). She lives in Nashville with her husband, Aaron and their tail-less dog, Cash.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process (you) do not become a monster.  And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.” -Friedrich Nietzsche 
 
War torn from past and present battles of mental illness and addiction, the monsters are very real and the abyss is a current state of reality for MXMS, short for “Me and My Shadow." Comprised of singer Ariel Levitan and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Dawson,  the self-produced duo from New York City and small town Oklahoma creates their own musical genre “Funeral Pop” fusing classic melodic songwriting with dark unfiltered chaos driven by a thousand forms of fear.     
 
Me and My Shadow pendulum swing from raw piano and voice to an expansive pallet of dark instrumentation, pulsing analog synthesizers and a crushing rhythm section layered around Ariel’s haunting delivery.   Focusing on movements of emotional trauma and taboo metaphoric expression, the brutal honesty of MXMS leaves an open invitation for listeners' own stories rise to the surface.    
 
Their deubt EP Funeral Pop I  includes previous singles “Paris,” “After Night,” and “Gravedigger,” which garnered attention from Suicide Sheep, Earmilk, KCRW, and Spotify editorial playlists including Chill Vibes, Alternative Beats, Sludge, Just Chill, Fresh Finds, and Indie Darlings as well as the Topsify's Indie Mixtape playlist. “Paris” also hit #1 on Hype Machine the first week of release, and MXMS has received press from the likes of Consequence of Sound, NestHQ, Rolling Stone, Fader and many others.
