User Album Review
Love Your Dum and Mad begins with this insistent clanging; it's guitarist Simon McCabe hammering away on a zither, making some industrial-grade din-- the noise perfectly mimicing a train crossing signal. It's an anxious sound, the soundtrack of impatiently waiting, of staying clear of a powerful, inevitable force that could crush you. The jing-jing-jing of this lasts for the nearly four minutes of the album opener "Aching Bones", a dark droning concoction of martial drums, blown-out bass, and pricks of parlor piano. All is static until Nadine Shah arrives and unfurls her velvet voice, singing of a love that destroys-- and setting the tone for a dark record that does not relent.
Dum and Mad is blood-red gothic, desperate loves, and bitterness-- much more fully-fledged than you'd expect a debut to be. Producer Ben Hillier doesn't carve out a lot of space for Shah in the songs, but she takes it. The sound of the album is heavy, claustrophobic even; reflecting the subject matter, sounds double back, pile up, and refuse to fade. The arrangements are simple, usually just piano, bass, guitar, drums, and some bits of feedback or guitar scuzz saturating the mix for emphasis. It's all baroqueness and black clouds, and Shah low voice, purring, like she is trying to beg the moon down from the sky. For all of Dum and Mad's unebbing intensity-- it never gets overbearing, it retains a dynamism through Shah's magnetic voice-- she makes you want to stay in the darkness with her.
