POSTMADONNA by Postmadonna
PRESS:
...one of Seattle's finest exports into the math- and instrumental-rock canon: Postmadonna's post-caffeinated, hyper-spasmodic math rock has earned praise on these pages before. Their supercharged mad-scientist energy is currently unparalleled in Seattle for its catchy weirdness and sing-a-long-ability. With the young four-piece now signed to Tetra Records, parallel universe domination seems inescapable. -THE SEATTLE STRANGER
"The members of Seattle “spazzcore” quartet Postmadonna appear to be in desperate need of some Ritalin. But the animated, effervescent results of their latest self-titled effort are cause for us all to hope that they never want to shake their ADHD. Released earlier this year, Postmadonna is comprised of nine frenetic tracks that giddily and abruptly bounce from one math rock riff and prog-pop hook to the next; so many times within a single track that listeners will be left trying to catch their breath once the album’s deceptively breezy 25-minutes are up." -THE NEEDLE DROP
One of the top 8 Local releases for 2013. (Postmadonna) defines dizzying hedonism and squiggly bombast. To grasp their sound, imagine if a more self-indulgent Tera Melos were led by an aggressively ADHD Omar Rodriguez-Lopez... Their music truly shines live where Postmadonna "gets its fans nearly dog-piling with rabid enthusiasm for rapidly changing time signatures and pop-punk sing-alongs at their live shows" -THE SEATTLE STRANGER
POSTMADONNA was written on a figurative island in a back corner of Seattle, WA. Conceived of by Pat Goodwin, Rich Clark Coller, Sean Niggemeyer, and Rowdy Gleason, this album represents the lifestyle shared by these and their friends as they gently stroked the feet-bottoms of the Northwest's experimental and progressive rock scenes in 2012-2013.
The band would like to thank all who listen and support them and their music, especially those who participated in the creation of this album.
