In November 2024, Norwegian band Mayflower Madame launched their highly anticipated third LP 'Insight' followed by a string of EU/UK shows. Ultimately their best work to date, it sees the band refining their characteristic blend of pulsating post-punk, shimmering shoegaze, and ethereal psych-goth into a sharper and more expansive sonic landscape than ever before. Mixed and mastered by Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher, The Vacant Lots etc.), the album takes you out on a hypnotic journey through the shadows, filled with haunting melodies and dreamy melancholia. At the same time, it remains dynamic and catchy.
Over the past few years, Mayflower Madame has built a strong reputation far beyond their hometown of Oslo. Their debut LP, 'Observed in a Dream' (2016), created a buzz in the indie
music press and brought them out on tours across Europe and North America. The long-awaited sequel 'Prepared for a Nightmare' (2020 + Deluxe Version 2023) further elaborated a sound distinctively their own and earned them rave reviews. Their new album 'Insight' has garnered much acclaim and extensive radio support so far, including MOJO, Rolling Stone Germany, Eclipsed Magazine, Rumore Magazine and BBC 6 Music.
Known for their atmospheric and intense live performances, Mayflower Madame is currently preparing for further European tours in 2025, including festival slots and their first ever shows in
Switzerland, Italy and Spain.
