Standing out against the layers of noises a city like New York holds is no small feat: its blaring cars and screeching trains, its storied streets, blunt locals, and piercing sirens all meld together into a thick backdrop. The Muckers, a four piece as vibrantly fresh as resolutely timeless, are doing just that, and NME already calls them “one of New York’s most exciting new bands.”

Their debut album, the aptly titled Endeavor, came on the heels of frontman Emir Mohseni’s journey – nothing short of an odyssey – as an immigrant taking refuge in New York City from his native Iran to have the right to perform rock music. “There are times in your life when you know the map to your destination but you need a force to drive you there,” Mohseni says of his move to the United States, profiled across acclaimed publications, from Rolling Stone to Billboard.

‘Endeavor’ received critical praises with Pitchfork noting its “nimble guitar work, swerving seamlessly between structure and embellishment,” Jack Saunders gushing on his BBC1 show: “It is a wild ride of loose hectic guitar playing, you won’t be able to get enough of it I promise,” and Rough Trade heralding the record as one of their Albums of the Year 2021, with a celebration at Rockefeller Center’s iconic Rainbow Room in NYC, alongside the band Dry Cleaning, that resounded all the way to the pages of The New York Times. The album was also nodded by their peers including Tame Impala’s Jay Watson & POND’s James Ireland who remixed their track “So Far Away,” turning the signature guitar-heavy sound of The Muckers into a velour-smooth slice of electronic heaven.

In the face of adversity, The Muckers have never let up their ambition, cutting through the noise with what Rolling Stone praised as “a call to fans to kick the dust off of their souls and boogie.”
