Madam Tsunami debut album - a new wave of discontent

24 October 2014 - 0 Comments

Auckland acoustic-rock band, Madam Tsunami release their debut album Man in the Middle today, the 24th October 2014.

Written by front man, Adam Usmani, Man in the Middle is an atypical rock album heavily influenced by Adam’s working class background, a voice seldom represented in modern music today.

Unplugged and acoustic with grunge influences, the 11-track album is an exciting introduction to this new band.

Inspired by the reality of being a full-time tradesman and father of two, Usmani touches on themes relatable to many including blue-collar struggles, love, life and the desire for more equality.

Case in point is title single Man in the Middle; The song’s shuffling laid back reggae beat belies the deep sentiment of the track which unfolds with the punchy straightforward lyrics and dark dissonant acoustic riff of the chorus.

Recorded in late 2013 at York Street Studios, the album was produced with the assistance of acclaimed New Zealand musician Don McGlashan and mastered by Avalanche City’s Dave Baxter.
 
Usmani is no stranger to the Auckland music scene having previously hosted Alt TV’s Top of the Rocks and performed in the jazz/blues band The Usmani Collective.
 
Madam Tsunami will be performing at the Dogs Bollix on Saturday the 25th October as part of their album release celebration with special guests Ted Bundy and Baloo.
