Riding the line between indie pop and psychedelic folk, the songs on the latest from The Madeleines are as gorgeous as they are mysterious. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 22, 2022
WOW. I hope Toc will be heard by many more ears besides mine. Love this group's patience to let a sound grow and make itself at home. Though perhaps it's more of a trance. The instrumentation is unique (rhodes, guitar w/ distortion and drums). Three players who work really well together. The total is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. The music is always threatening to spontaneously combust, and mercifully, sometimes it does! Mohan Thomas
