The Mystery Plan have announced their fifth album 'Zsa Zsa', which will be released in early April via boutique label Ten Millimeter Omega Recordings. Ahead of this, they present the lead single 'Ballad of JC Quinn', following up their recently-released infectious Massive Attack-esque single 'Al Gore Rhythms'.
Produced by the legendary John Fryer and Jason Herring, this record also features such notable guests as Micah Gaugh (The Veldt / Apollo Heights), Ian Masters, That Guy Smitty and Snap Nation. This is not the first time The Mystery Plan has worked with Fryer, having previously collaborated on their fourth full-length release 'Queensland Ballroom', released in late 2017, and the 'Electric Love' single. Based in Charlotte, NC, the band is comprised of Jason Herring, Amy Herring, Jeff Chester, Otis Hughes and Patty McLaughlin. Since forming in 2010, they've managed to release 10 EPs and LPs combined. "JC Quinn was an actor from NYC with many film and television credits, including "Barfly", "the Abyss", "Visionquest" and countless others. He moved to Charlotte in the late 1990s to be closer to his grandchildren. We met at a downtown watering hole called Cafe 521, owned and operated by his good friend from New York, Peter Herrero. That's where I met JC, along with many other actors, such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Bernadette Peters, etc.. They would always stop at the café when in town to visit their good friend Peter," says Jason Herring.Listen to "Al Gore Rhythms" here:
