AMG Review of Madra

Heather Phares
All Music Guide

The group's first album consists of madrigals and traditional songs, most of them from the 18th century or earlier. A dance remix of one of the songs, "Gush Forth My Tears," became a surprise club hit. Musically, Madra is nothing more than the voices of Miranda Sex Garden in all their pristine clarity -- the album is completely a cappella. The vocals and material are exceptionally beautiful; Madra is a unique and refreshing listen.
