Intelligently Original
You have to love the cheek of Madding Crowd. Forget all about glitzy press releases and shiny photos to detract from the actual music these guys have gone one better and keeps things to the minimum, simply splashing across the cover of their single “wish we could afford expensive black and white photo of band” • genius.
Anyway, back to the music. ‘Turn Off The Radio’ is about doing just that, just switching off the ‘radio’ in your head that drives us to continually text, to always email and fills our heads with useless junk. With classic indie melodic beats easing you through the track, ‘Turn Off The Radio’ is as enjoyable as it is thought provoking providing nuggets of pure genius most notably its sudden conclusion. As the track builds to its finale an unexpected end arrives as all sound is scratched away instantly creating the illusion that the radio has indeed been switched off. Intelligently original with cheeky hidden surprises, Madding Crowd capture the essence of indie and slap you right across the face with it.
