Misterlee
Misterlee is an almost uncategorizable 2 piece act from Leicestershire, England, that blends alternative rock and lo-fi pop - amongst other perculiarities, to create a truly unique sound. 'FolkItUp' - Chicago's Alt-folk-zine wrote: "There is no true label or definition that one could apply to Misterlee, it stands up not only as its own sound, but provokes emotion in a way that most music can't these days"
