Miss Mellow - Dancing Through The Earth (2025) [Hi-Res]

On May 23rd Miss Mellow from Munich will release her second album "Dancing Through The Earth" via Sound Effect Records. The self-titled debut of 2023 was quite convincing to us at the time, so there was a lot of excitement about whether this would also succeed with release number two. Basically, the quartet has remained true to its style: Kraut and fuzz meet psychedelic stoner rock, everything is relaxed grooving in the 70s flair, jam passages dominate over slightly jazzy fusion parts and synth organs.

In addition to the almost quarter-hour title song "Dancing Through The Earth", there are two other longtracks on the album, each divided into individual sub-segments, in addition there is a song in ordinary length with 'Kanonen' as well as a small interlude. The Munich guys surprise again with psychedelic organ passages, which should conjure up a wide grin on the face of every fan of 70s retro. Far more than in the debut, it becomes progressive, everything seems to be in one piece due to the longtracks, the good Miss Mellow surprises us with fuzz-filled guitar curtains and sophisticated songwriting. Even over epic, extended longtracks, the music remains gripping and exciting at every second.

So don't be afraid of the second album, which is often called difficult, because Miss Mellow are doing everything right and show that the great debut was not an isolated case. Here you like to dance through the interior of the earth, past gurgling lava flows and through caves with heavy, massive rock formations, while colorful psychedelic vapors waft through the hot air. Cheer up!
