Norwegian post-punkers Mayflower Madame have a rather bleak outlook on life. Their new single Weightless is a doom-laden song about trying to escape and failing miserably. Taking cues from the Jesus and Mary Chain and other unsmiling acts they have removed all colours from their music, sticking to black, white and gray.
Their dystopian imagery will appeal to disgruntled teenagers and anyone with a penchant for the black-clad late Eigthies/early Nineties. Weightless is the lead single for their debut album Observed in a Dream.
