Rusty Moe initially had planned to release a full album comprising 10 tracks. However with the changing trend, it was decided to settle for the shorter 4 song EP, which is better suited to the present listening style. This means the band have enough songs ready for another EP, which shouldn't be too far off. The band decided to scrap all the old tracks and start from scratch. The working title for the EP was "Wham Bam", which was also the first single released by the band way back in 2009, and also happens to be the first song ever written by the band in the early days around 1998. The band also agreed to include the power ballad, "Dreams Untrue" which reflects a typical 80's style. Though this song was written in 2009, it has rarely been played Live. The other two tracks are relatively new and hardly been played Live and has changed in its format when it was reworked. Over the next few months, the band members have been sending each other reworked tracks and demos. With some members in Australia, Canada, and the rest in India, the distance and time difference made the work challenging. However, everyone was able to complete their parts and by early October 2020, the band completed recording four songs from scratch and around this time also decided to title the album as "Mrs Dickinson".
The songs are a mix of funk and classic rock and revolves around the stereotypical themes of Sex, Drugs, and Rock N' Roll. The album centers around the fictional character who goes by the name, Mrs. Dickinson, who is a middle aged woman, who isn't afraid to live a little, and who gets deeply involved with someone from the band and takes them on a hedonistic trip, which doesn't end well. The person regrets the choices he made and wants to return to his much quieter family life, but realizes that he has lost that forever in the process. As much as the EP explored themes of sex and drugs, towards the end it also explores certain emotions such as guilt, regret, resentment, forgiveness, grief and loss, etc. |
