about

London post-punk electronic crew MADMADMAD return today with a brand new double A-side single 'Do You' b/w 'Shambles', out now via Bad Vibrations.

The new tracks - the first from the trio since their second album, 2020's More More More - come ahead of a busy spring and summer for the band on the live circuit, with a headline UK run this month followed by festival dates including Wide Awake, WOMAD, End of the Road, Manchester Psych Fest and more.

Once again recorded in the band's experimental warehouse lab, the two tracks show contrasting sides of the trio: while 'Do You' locks into a hypnotic groove before coming to life with cascading synths that beckon you to the dancefloor, 'Shambles' fizzes with a combustible energy that threatens to explode at a moment's notice, all syncopated, fidgety beats and propulsive basslines. What courses through both tracks, though, is a sense of mischief and playfulness exuded in every note MADMADMAD lay to tape and that's bound to be present in abundance across their summer dates.

Of 'Do You', the band offer: "It's about being yourself without asking permission. It's a hypnotic, dance floor-ready anthem that makes you want to let the goof out, in a playful invitation to dance your troubles away, like Archie Bell beaming from darker space. A deranged sonic ride with an irresistible feel-good factor."

ILL CONSIDERED 8
by Ill Considered

supported by 7 fans who also own “Do You / Shambles”

Energetic live album by this London based quartet. This clearly is jazz (or postjazz as they chose to label it), but with a groovy raw power that's rarely found in your usual jazz band. The band members bring a rich background into the fold which is reflected int he music, and of course, adds to the appeal. Carsten Pieper

Great guitar loops and lines over the bass and double percussion. Almost like Jah Wobble meets Ilhan Ersahin's Istanbul Sessions players. Definitely lives up to what I would expect from musicians involved in Ill Considered. Can't wait to hear more! xpatofthemind

Free, modern, progressive jazz, where inspiration drives form and expression and communication is what holds it all together. I'll be getting the next session once I've cleared my listening backlog. Keep them coming. Peter Jones
