Madrugada "Industrial Silence" 1999

Norwegian rock band Madrugada's debut album Industrial Silence is a melancholic masterpiece featuring the soaring vocals of Sivert Høyem. The masterful guitar and harmonica playing of the late Robert Buras gives the record a special recognition value...
...Madrugada creates a wonderful musical environment with nothing more than traditional instruments, a bit of piano and a bit of pedal steel guitar. Sometimes they sound like Leonard Cohen or 16 Horsepower, sometimes like Nick Cave. Their style is spherical and warm like that of other Scandinavian acts like Sigur Ros or Bjork. The album includes the chart hits Shine, This Old House, Electric and Quite Emotional. Madrugada are masters of melancholy captured in music. - jpc
