Madam sad started with myself, maddison schreiber. Six years ago I felt pushed to be a musician out of love and spite, which to this day continues to folllow into my art. This upcoming album includes a large amount of work from Evelyn charlotte joe, who was also a great source of inspiration for me. We agreed to work on an album together right before Ev left to live in montreal, which felt very serendipitous. This upcoming album documents the feelings I went through during that time, and the feelings i had for evelyn.
Me and evelyn spent around 2 years working on this upcoming album, through which we both suffered from poverty and flareups with disability. I think with the colonial state of the world, with post capitalism and economic failure, many artists are going through heart wrenching, brain breaking, measures to make the most simplist of results, and thats something we experienced too.
In montreal we used the “say what you mean” studio, and evelyns home studio. In hamilton we used the “fort rose” studio, and a home studio at taylor finnigans house as well. All these spaces felt queer and experimentation friendly, the pressure to perform and complete wasnt there as much as the opportunity to play and discover. The upcoming album had more people than in all previous albums, including incredible talents of connor bennett from “tidal pool.”
I am always looking to change my range or sound or abilities with all future projects. Having just started HRT testosterone, I also have opportunity to discover a whole new method of vocalizing. I am forever eager for whats next, so with one foot out the door, im excited for people to hear my 2024 release!!!
