The Full Story
About Serious
Serious is another 16-track odyssey maintaining and amplifying the critical, existential plea for more humanity that forms the intellectual basis of all Madadkin's work. Rooted in blues, but branching out into rock, jazz, and avant-garde experimentations, this album is surgical rather than smooth in its analysis of our contemporary not-yet human condition.
The title is a cry for action. Beginning with a confession: "We Left the Lights On" unfolding unto the desperate cry of "Enough Shit" Madadkin takes us on another musical journey through ever more distorted and distorting kaleidoscope of styles reflecting this world in freefall. Another prophetic howl from the edge of a civilisation in decadent collapse.
