A lovechild between Fontaines D.C. and The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Madams Last Discovery are carrying quite the explosive, unapologetic sound on their shoulders.
Based in Belfast, the band has been together for two years, performing many shows across the buzzing capital, which has been producing incredibly high quality talent over the past number of years. The band’s new release, “Champagne”, was created under the ‘Scratch My Progress’ talent development programme through much-loved venue The Oh Yeah Centre - an excellent initiative to further foster the country’s emerging bands and artists.
The single is a psychedelic wall of sound, “alive as a tyrannical mix of Sean Ryder’s Happy Mondays, on a three-week Belfast bar crawl, having run into David Byrne, Grian Chatten and the devil along the way”. Would you be coming back from a night out like that?, the band question. We’ll leave that up to your ears.
Produced and mixed by Darragh Tibbs and recorded in Analogue Catalogue Studio, “Champagne’', was mastered by Jon Moorehead (Moosetronix) and features artwork by the band’s own Flinn O’Grady.
Madam’s Last Discovery are grabbing opportunities with both hands, and rightfully so: Securing creative development assistance under the Scratch My Progress project is a major, well-deserved achievement. Their raw talent has taken them this far, and now it’s time for the industry to get fully clued into the band’s work under the exciting new programme. Only their third single, “Champagne” has earned them their first bold stripe.
There’s a sophistication to “Champagne”, presented in a way that has certainly not forgotten its DIY upbringing, and Madams Last Discovery appear poised to unite the best of both worlds going forward.
