MIGNON – TOYS TANTRUM

“Toy’s Tantrum” leads the listener into a world of creepy toys, dreams and dolls in an explosive package of Rock, Garage, Blues, and Pop-Psychodelica. Guests on the album are Fredovitch from King Khan and the Shrines on Hammond Organ and Adrian Stout of the Tiger Lillies playing the singing saw. The Album is recorded in Berlin at Einstürzende Neubautens “Andere Baustelle” and at Hansa Studio Berlin. All Instruments on this Album have been played live by the Band. Invited has been a String Quartet most recently noted for their collaboration with Rufus Wainwright also a Timpani and Trumpet player. Mignon is exorcising her demons with an eclectically spookish mix of searing rock ‘ roll and Spaghetti Western-esque swagger. From the feverish 60’s-fuelled shakedown of ‘Make Believe’ and frenetic burn of ‘Bulldog” to the jubilant murder march of ‘Fiesta’ and hauntingly jaunty ‘Ghost of a Memory’. Toys Tantrum is a dreadfully addictive play date! Mignon collaborated with Peaches on recordings and touring, she also performed in the Musical “Peaches does Herself’ in 2012. Mignon’s debut Album “Bad, Evil, Wicked and Mean” was released in 2007 and had guests like Lady Miss Kier (Deelite), and Thomas Wydler from the Bad Seeds. In her career Mignon supported Trail of Dead, Queens of the Stone Age, Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson.

Everything about Mignon feels right. She rocks out, but doesn’t try too hard to be something she is not… be who you are, do what you want, find out what’s cooking in the kitchen even if it is getting steamy” LA Record Dave Catching (Eagles of Death Metal, Earthlings?, Desert Sessions, Masters of Reality, QotSA & Mojave Lords.) “Mignon delivers yet another lively album chocked full of fun, fresh, fantastic lyrics, hooks and melodies. Her incredible vocals are better than ever and the production is clean, clear and classic. It’s a joy to listen to this timeless record!” Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Les Tigre, Julie Ruin): “The album I’ve been waiting for! An upgraded version of garage music” Mark Moore (S-Express): “A new Mignon album is always a joy and this one especially so. A mutant -pop, swamp-rock, rockin-rolling concoction – thrown into a boiling pot and held together with Mignon’s honeyed vocals. Quite delicious!”
