Racing Mount Pleasant

Racing Mount Pleasant makes music built to swell. The seven-piece indie collective pairs intimate, emotionally charged songwriting with sprawling arrangements of guitars, piano, strings and horns, moving effortlessly between chamber pop, folk and explosive post-rock. Originally formed at the University of Michigan and formerly known as Kingfisher, the band stepped into a new chapter with their acclaimed 2025 self-titled album, a cinematic, slow-burning record made for getting completely lost in. Catch them live at Bumbershoot.
