Missions Returns with a Romantic New Video and Bonus Playlist

The recent debut album Subcreature by LA-based electro-pop savant Missions is dominated by vocoder driven dance tracks with fresh rhythms and booming low end.

This beautiful addition to the Missions cannon premieres today on FILTER Mexicowith a bonus Spotify Playlist of curated Missions essentials entitled Soft Serve.
