MADAME PSYCHOSIS – MP3
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE ALBUM PREMIERE
Toronto-based indie rock band Madame Psychosis is back with their most ambitious and emotionally charged project to date: MP3, their highly anticipated third studio album. It will be released October 23rd on all streaming platforms, but is available through this private link starting today. MP3 showcases the band’s evolution, both musically and personally, following the success of their 2019 album Survivor and their 2016 self-titled debut. It was recorded and mixed by Alex Gamble (Alvvays, Broken Social Scene, Arkells) at Union
Sound Company, Raventape Music Room and Poetic Groove Productions in Toronto.
MP3 features a cohesive and dynamic collection of genre-blending tracks, including previously released singles “Concrete Streets,” “Hopeless,” “Revolution,” “Charlie’s Story,” and “Foxtail.” In conjunction with MP3, the band is also releasing “Lucky”, an infectious guitar-driven anthem that explores the various masks we wear in different environments, whether to blend in, please others, or satisfy personal desires, reflecting the deeply human need for acceptance.
“I come across a lot of people who embrace the ‘fake it ’til you make it’ mentality, especially with social media and having to always be ‘on’ and ‘camera ready’,” says Michelle Mondesir, the band’s lead singer and lyricist. “It’s a cry for authenticity at all costs, an urging from those who love you for who you are and to embrace every part of you as an individual”
Thematically, MP3 delves deep into the emotional, psychological, and social landscapes of modern life. The band covers a wide spectrum of the human experience, from systemic issues like racism and capitalism to intimate reflections on mental health, relationships, and personal resilience. With themes ranging from inner strength, emotionality, and self-care to grief, suicide, and mental illness, the album acts as both a personal reflection and a broader conversation.
“The world has gone through a lot and we wanted to create an album that acts as a reflection of the times,” says Mondesir. “It is also meant to take you inward, understanding who you are, and then stepping out to interact with the world around you in a meaningful way.”
