Drawing inspiration from the glistening coagulation of blood, guts and cum that glues together the universe, Madge’s 2022 output is visceral, corporal, and abstract.
With a characteristic combination of sonic violence and saccharine sweetness, the A/B side of “Thumbtax” and “Psychopomp” alternately terrorizes and hypnotizes, as Madge continues to advance the pop paradigm.
Opaque, esoteric, and yet shimmering with thumping beats, towering choruses and anthemic hooks, this one-two punch is a glimmer of a longform project due this fall and showcases Madge at their genre-blurring, neck-biting best.
With a guest verse from post-internet agitator GIRLI, “Thumbtax” explicitly details cognitive dissonance, anxiety and ensuing insomnia before exploding into an industrial dance supernova.
