The album's title stemmed from an incident where Barry Burns and Dominic Aitchison landed in Florida to start a tour with The Cure in 2005, when they saw a taxi driver standing outside the airport holding a sign that said "Mr. and Mrs. Beast" which, after a 10-hour flight, was "funnier than life itself".[3]
Artwork
The cover artwork for Mr Beast is a painting by Amanda Church entitled "Milkbar",[4] and the accompanying booklet contains other works from her, all of a similar style.
