Sometimes a band knocks at your door with a CDr that quickly leaves you totally charmed. Because good taste flows from every downtempo beat, every late night atmosphere, every beautiful melody. A precious voice, a hipnotic rythm base,elegant end eloquent guitars: songs from the hidden side of Mars.

Madee was born in 1998 in Cabrils, Barcelona, from the ashes of various bands with a common link of friendship: Lluis Cots (drums), Ramon Rodríguez (voice and guitar) and Pep Masiques (bass). One month later Adam Vives (guitar) and Capi (guitar) would join the band, and in december 1998 they released their first demo, "Lost recordings", with 12 songs close to Girls Against Boys and Jawbox, one of their main influences. In january 2000 they released their second CD, "8-track demos", some more energic and rocking, getting close to bands like Superchunk and Archers Of Loaf. At the same time, Ramon decides to start his own label, Cydonia Records, to take care of the band personally. After writing and choosing a good bunch of new songs, they get into the studio to record them in august. In september, ramon contacts with BCore and gives us an advance CD already mastered. The record quickly fills us of enthusiasm, showing some ancient influences like Echo & The Bunnymen and The Cure, that intelligently mixed with the emo inheritance of Jimmy Eat World, Mineral or Sunny Day Real Estate. The next step, the immediate release of "Songs from Cydonia", a record perfectly recorded, with such tuneful songs and vespertine, melancholic atmospheres that will remind you of the quietest U2, the most honest Radiohead or the more complex Cobolt. A delicatessen to listen quietly at home, perfect for one of those nights we would like to live someday...
