Overview
From the southern wilds of Athens, GA comes young four-piece, New Madrid. Their music is a dynamic mixture of underwater-psych-rock that engages the listener in fully textured aural landscapes, both on record and live. Their acclaimed 2012 independent debut, Yardboat - engineered by David Barbe (Deerhunter, Drive-By Truckers) at Chase Park Transductiondisplayed the band's inherent talents and introduces a distinctive sound budding with sonic energy. In their ever-thriving music- mecca hometown, Yardboat garnered "Album of the Year," and the band's formula of consistent touring and creative restlessness earned them "Artist of the Year" at the Flagpole Music Awards. In the summer of 2013, New Madrid signed to local start-up Normaltown Records, and entered the studio to record what would become Sunswimmer. Their second full-length finds New Madrid further exploring depths of psychedelia and textured noise. The new record presents a New Madrid audibly settled into itself. Focused into a collection of collaborative songs, the band delves into a more experimental soundscape. Recorded solely on analog tape during a cool, wet July - once again under the direction of David Barbe -Sunswimmer telegraphs a newly confident self-knowledge, from the assertive opening riff of the churning Manners to the infectious driving beat behind Forest Gum. The tracks here are more concentrated than Yardboat's offerings, but fans of New Madrid's expansive tendencies will be sated by the record's final 25 minutes, which are characterized by two linear compositions (Homesick and And She Smiles). The album's body of music was conceived as a singular piece and is best consumed that way.
