Music News - Madam Tsunami debut album - a new wave of discontent
24 October 2014 - 0 Comments
Auckland acoustic-rock band, Madam Tsunami release their debut album Man in the Middle today, the 24th October 2014.
Written
by front man, Adam
Usmani, Man
in the Middle is an atypical rock album heavily influenced by
Adam’s working class background, a voice seldom represented in modern music
today.
Unplugged and acoustic with grunge influences, the 11-track album is an
exciting introduction to this new band.
Inspired by the reality of being a full-time tradesman and father of two,
Usmani touches on themes relatable to many including blue-collar struggles,
love, life and the desire for more equality.
Case in point is title single Man
in the Middle; The song’s shuffling laid back reggae beat
belies the deep sentiment of the track which unfolds with the punchy
straightforward lyrics and dark dissonant acoustic riff of the chorus.
Recorded in late 2013 at York Street Studios, the album was produced with the
assistance of acclaimed New Zealand musician Don McGlashan and mastered by
Avalanche City’s Dave Baxter.
Usmani is no stranger to the Auckland music scene having previously hosted Alt
TV’s Top of the Rocks and performed in the jazz/blues band The Usmani
Collective.
Madam Tsunami will be performing at the Dogs
Bollix on Saturday the 25th October as part of their
album release celebration with special guests Ted Bundy and Baloo.
