Swiss bluesadelic band «Dear Misses» share their third album
News

LIFE AND DEATH OF FRANKIE TROMBONE is a concept album about the life of fictional Wild West outlaw «Frankie Trombone». The 12 original compositions deal with the unsteady life of an outsider: his heartbreak, loneliness, inner turmoil, social ostracism, failure, and eventual death. Despite the lyrical heaviness, the songs radiate a summery lightness.
On a musical level, Gram Parsons' vision of Cosmic American Music continues: country and folk mix with rockabilly, psychedelic, blues and even trip hop. Strongly influenced by the maestro «Ennio Morricone», elements of the Italo-Western soundtrack are also present in the songs.
Typical for «Dear Misses», the album was recorded and mixed completely analog. For the album cover, the five band members pose in tailored nudie suits adorned with glitter stones and psychedelic motifs in front of a star-filled desert sky, just before a new day dawns in the life of Frankie Trombone.
