Miss Chain & The Broken Heels

From Bergamo, Italy

After four singles (“Common Shell”, “Boys and Girls”, “Lie” and this year’s “Rainbow”) that sold out in a flash, an album for one of the most prestigious power-pop labels already in its second pressing, rave reviews on both sides of the Atlantic, two US tours and lots of dates all across Europe, Miss Chain & The Broken Heels return with “The Dawn”. Having already sold out of the first pressing on Austria’s Bachelor Records, the album now sees a US vinyl release here on Dusty Medical (and an also recently-released cassette edition on Burger Records).
“The Dawn” stems from the common effort of the band together with producer Pierluigi Ballarin (The R’s) at T.U.P. Studio in Brescia (Italy). Two weeks of live recordings on tape to capture the joy of experimenting in a studio yielded a perfect blend of warm, thick and surrounding sound: it is a complex record that deploys a vast array of sounds, so deep that sometimes you find yourself drifting away with your eyes closed, totally immersed in a mixture of country, rhythm’n’blues, pop and Beatlesesque melodies, surrounded by dreamy landscapes, sometimes even bordering on psychedelia. References to Sixties melodies and sunshine pop are the ideal framing for a record whose sound and content is at the same moment timeless and steeped in the contemporary, the soundtrack to an internal journey which contemplates life and its baggage but it’s not afraid of its dark corners.
