Release Date: May 9th 2024
Number Nine pays homage to the album style that the Beatles' white symbolised. Irreverent, experimental and eclectic, the Beatles' white was far more than a pop-rock record. Despite the whiteness, however, Number Nine is probably Madadkin's darkest work, with a number of songs focused on the terrible conflicts facing our times: war, global warming, and the rise of fascism.

Singles
Wuhan
Our first POSTPANDEMIC SINGLE was WUHAN, a rocky, fun ballad that tells the story of the beginning of the plague. An ironic portrayal of a tragedy that is yet to be fully overcome.
Age of the Mask
"The Age of the Mask".
This song was a kind of anthem for the pandemic era. Ironic, a kind of quirky pop tune, with a narrative that is deliberately alienating. It begins with a "Welcome to the Age of the Mask" before describing the horror of Covid in a very cold and distant way.
Yesterday in a dream
"Yesterday in a dream" was released on April 1st, 2022.
A melancholy song, sung by Ariadna, about the problem of accepting death.
The feeling is sad, but also metaphysical and dreamlike.
It also appears on the album
"It's Raining in Greenland" released on may 6th 2022.
Tiger in the House
The song begins with a slow fade-in of a haunting, echoing voice in Russian (it’s Vladimir Putin announcing the invasion of the Ukraine), coming in over an eerie synthesizer punctuated by electronic screams. This is superseded by a drum and strong bass rhythm, and the song line, delivered in a cold, matter of fact, gentlemanly way proclaiming everything loathsome about the song’s political subject: “I hate your mouth and the words that come out, those words of hate that you love to shout. You’ve got it all, but you think you need more. You fear the world, so you start a war.”
A verse line flowing past a quirky synthesizer instrumental break into the absurdly naive plaint of the chorus: “We want to stick our fingers up your nose, tug your ears while we stomp on your toes. Who let the tiger in the house? You don’t need a tiger to catch a mouse.”
Tiger in the House is a strong, frontal attack on the invasion of Ukraine, and, as such a political song, denouncing this dark era but with a seemingly dulcet pop tone that exaggerates through its sweetness the contrast with the brutal harsh reality of the terrible war itself and the feeling of impotence for those of us witnessing the disaster from the outside.
