Mic City Sons is the third and final album by American indie rock band Heatmiser, released on October 29, 1996 through record label Caroline. Mic City Sons is the band's only recording for a major label. However, when individuals at Virgin Records learned the band might be on the verge of disbanding, the album was subsequently licensed for release through the smaller sister independent label Caroline Records (also an EMI subsidiary) and their independent distributor of the same name.

The quartet's finest and final album, Mic City Sons features a decidedly more pop feel than its predecessors and marks Smith's maturation into the role of the band's visionary. Songs like "Plain Clothes Man" and "You Gotta Move" exhibit the interplay of soulful, smooth vocals over gentle guitar strumming that has been so evident in Smith's.

Producer, Recorded By – Heatmiser, Rob Schnapf, Tom Rothrock. Written-By – Elliott Smith (tracks: 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12), Neil Gust (tracks: 3, 4, 6, 7, 10). Notes.

Though the band’s implosion was certainly disappointing, they exited in as impressive a way as possible. Not so much a bang as a brilliant glow, Mic City Sons is the elegant and understated final hurrah from one of the most vastly underrated bands of the past 20 years.

Heatmiser elected to alter their sound on what would become their final album, Mic City Sons. Electing for a much more refined, indie-rock effect, rather than the more organic, crude punk sound on the previous two paid off. Mic City Sons varies mainly between two types of songs. To start off the album is the moderate Get Lucky. As Smith belts out the chorus We’re taking you to pieces with a tinge of anger in his voice, it’s as if he’s just a tad too restrained and reserved
