Support from Jude Rees is MadrigirlPram set out on tour in 2025 with another LP on the horizon featuring a new member of the collective. The first release since 2018 sees the band build on their distinctive soundscape with added textures and a raw and powerful live
show careering from eerie to bone-shaking.
Fliss Kitson has built a reputation as a commanding and charismatic drummer through her work with The Nightingales and Violet Violet. Her presence has cemented a new partnership in the rhythm section with Sam Owen firmly back behind the bass on a majority of numbers, exploring a path from Krautrock to
dub and back. There is also a new musical relationship on vocals with Kitson’s powerful pop sensibility off-set by Owen’s haunting and wistful presence.
The band still use a bewildering array of instruments and are unrepentantly unfazed by the possibilities of performing on anything and everything that seems appropriate. “It’s not possible to develop a facility on every instrument we want to use” explains founder member and multi-instrumentalist Sam Owen, “so we simply don’t worry about it and look instead for the initial thrill of discovering a new sound”. The addition of mountain dulcimer and trombonist/theremin player Harry Dawes’ sometimes playful, occasionally mournful soprano saxophone are a testament to this continued experimentation in the new set.
