Measles Mumps Rubella's debut album, "Fantastic Success" - Out Now! Order direct for $10 (postage paid)!

“Measles Mumps Rubella flourish in the prickly, disjointed space between instruments, while encouraging fluid patterns to emerge organically from this tension. Fantastic Success gleams with an ardent energy that provides the perfect platform for Measles Mumps Rubella’s shadowy, polyrhythmic fury.” - Pitchforkmedia (7.9)

"[Fantastic Success] takes in everything from Gang of Four funk to Fugazi-esque force, all filtered through a dense haze of shoegaze noise. A fine combination." - XLR8R Magazine (Top 10 Office Pick)

"Their balancing act incorporates dub inflections with such aplomb that no end of this multi-legged beast gains an upper hand." - CMJ Magazine (album of the day)

"The echoing vocals and feedback are signs leading away from neat dance numbers and through the post-rock tunnel, even as the band never loses the beat. And there is a hint of the Western film score in Bettis's occasional trumpet and the marching drumming of Ryan Hicks. For every band out there said to be ripping off Gang of Four, it's nice to hear one that actually sounds just as expansive." - Econoculture

"dance-punk isn't really dead at all. It might be diseased, however...[MMR] elevate their status through their craft, structuring each burst of a song with care, and adding in the right elements at the right times...while the album continually turns toward its own inner darkness, it leaves a bounce behind for us. And ultimately, we can dance" - Stylus Magazine

"New York City-based psych-funkers Measles Mumps Rubella's Fantastic Success is a compelling and virtually unqualified one. It's crafted a very solid and intelligent set unified by the push and pull of lockstep rhythms and broad sonic experimentation." - Junkmedia.org
