MISS CHAIN & THE BROKEN HEELS
NEW ALBUM 'STORMS' OUT ON 1 DECEMBER ON WILD HONEY RECORDS
HEAR NEW SINGLE 'WILD WIND' HERE
Miss Chain & The Broken Heels have announced the release of new album 'Storms' on 1st December, via Wild Honey Records.
They have now shared 'Wild Wind', the first single taken from the record. Miss Chain explains: "Even when I’m totally sure of a certain decision, or a path in life, something unexpected always happens to make me lose my compass. And in the worst cases, it pushes me to act on impulse. It is like a wild wind, that blows on your perfectly combed hair and turns all your beliefs upside down. But sometimes, it can also reveal the beauty of imperfection and taking risks".
The song was written during an endless and very “windy” coast-to-coast U.S. tour. She continues "We loved it, but somehow it always felt musically incomplete. So it sat there for a while until our friend and producer Zambo said “Why don’t you do something different, and try a Bo Diddley-ish beat on the verse? That’s totally unexpected!”. And there it was, one of our favourite songs to play. We didn’t have to change the wind, just adjust our sails a little bit".
LISTEN TO 'WILD WIND' HERE
A charming blonde psychologist with a passion for rock’n’roll. A troubled singer-songwriter troubadour seeking eternal free drinks and breaking hearts. A Sky Walker-lookalike nerd busy booking shows and releasing records with his punk label. A curly young genius in A.I. programming and analogue drumming. Together, they form the most un-hype, out-of-time and out-of-style garage band, Miss Chain & The Broken Heels.
It all started as a solo/side project of singer/guitarist Astrid Dante: inspired by her recent discovery of late 70’s obscure Power-Pop gems, she recorded her rock’n’roll songs with a drum machine and a fake band. During one of the punk-rock shows booked by bass player Franz Barcella, she partied so hard she broke her heels. That night though, she found a real band excited to back her up and tour the world with her. Since then, two full-length records (the first one with their power-pop dream label, Screaming Apple), many 7” singles, and even more tours, parties, food discoveries, small stages, big stages, no stages, big crowds, no crowds, played with bands they had posters on their teen walls, infinite drives, injuries, broken vans, planes, many failures, great satisfactions.
They’re one of those bands forever in between. Too pop for punks, too punk for pop. Too clean for garage nostalgia, and too weird for Americana. Hard to classify, their sound is a mixture of Sixties Beatles-esque melodies, sunshine-pop atmospheres, punk attitude, country, rhythm and blues, surrounded by dreamy landscapes, folk-revival lyricism and sometimes even bordering on psychedelia. All the records they grew up with, or bought during their travels, are in the cocktail.
'Storms', their brand new full-length record, is a step forward to this brave non-concept concept. A labor of DIY, recorded by their former drummer Brown Barcella and Alessio Lonati, produced and mastered by their best friend Riccardo Zamboni and released on their own Wild Honey Records.
