The news follows the release of Misty’s Greatish Hits: I Followed My Dreams and My Dreams Said to Crawl earlier this summer, a collection of back catalogue songs including “Real Love Baby”, his biggest hit on streaming.

The collection also included “I Guess Time Makes Fools of Us All”, an eight-minute jazz-influenced song that will also appear on Mahashmashana.

Misty last released a studio album in 2022 with Chloë and The Next 20th Century which landed at No.2 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart and at No.28 on the Billboard 200.

The Los Angeles-based musician is currently on tour supporting country star Kacey Musgraves in the US. Earlier this year, he was a special guest of Lana Del Rey at her headline appearance at London’s Hyde Park.

Sum 41 Scores Second Alternative Airplay No. 1 This Year With ‘Dopamine’

The band's second and third No. 1s have led over two decades after its first in 2001.

After earning its first No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart in over two decades earlier this year, Sum 41 scores another as “Dopamine” rises a spot to No. 1 on the Nov. 30-dated survey.

The song follows the two-week Alternative Airplay command for “Landmines” in March. The latter led 22 years, five months and three weeks after Sum 41’s first No. 1, “Fat Lip,” in August 2001, rewriting the record for the longest break between rulers for an act in the chart’s 36-year history. It shattered the previous best test of patience, held by The Killers, who waited 13 years and six months between the reigns of “When You Were Young” in 2006 and “Caution” in 2020.
