Monster's Mother by Dear Misses

"There are no limits" was the credo for this records. Following two years of live-playing, some private traveling and a lot of songwriting-time, a whole lotta songs just waited to be tracked.

Entering the brandnew Dear Misses studio with a 16-track tape machine, the band never sounded that high-end and still lofi as hell.

Over 20 songs were recorded, containing influences of glam, blues, southern, country, garage and psychedelic rock.

Finally, it all ended up in a double album called "Monster's Mother", released again on finest vinyl. On one hand, "Monster's Mother" is the name of the final song on the album, telling about fanaticism is the origin of worldwide dictatorial evil. On the other hand, it's a monster of an album, and its mother is the over hundred-year-old house, where our studio is located.

The album was a very little breakthrough and reached some attention, with the lead single "Mr. bombastic" was played on Swiss national radio "Couleur 3" in rotation.
