Christiane Rösinger was the founder, singer and songwriter of the Berlin based bands Lassie Singers and Britta. Her first solo album, with the evocative title “Songs of L. and Hate” appeared in Autumn 2010. Preppy, sloane-rangers with Billy shelves full of Dylan box sets and Greil Marcus publications should understand from the get-go, what a remarkable stroke of luck it is that perhaps the greatest living German female pop song-writer so obviously, and yet also subliminally, delves into the reference-temple of so many of the male greats of the Pop-world. Here, it is just as much about a serious mark of respect as it is an oath of allegiance to the old punk maxim "DIY! Do it yourself: No Gods, No Masters". The congenial S.C.U.M.-pop-folklorist Andreas Spechtl of the group Ja, Panik, is responsible for virtually all instruments and arrangements.
