The Mad Pride
The Mad Pride, from Wollongong in Australia is in essence a solo vehicle for the progressive / indie / psychedelia / folk /rock multi-instrumentalist Rowan Galagher to get his thoughts out to the world, he does use occasional additional players.
The Mad Pride
A vocal which in some ways reminds me of David Bowie adds a lustre to the brooding presence that emanates from the speakers. There is no hurry here, this is music to spend some thoughtful moments with, when life seems a little messy. The pathos superbly combines the bathos of mental disturbance. The Mad Pride takes the name in support of helping create a positive stance towards mental illness, the juxtaposition of the content with depth of sincerity makes this construction absolutely on the button.
Whilst Rowan seeks to encapsulate and create an aural exposition of complex emotional strains and as such plays around with classical composition structures, he doesn’t make this inaccessible and that isn’t very easy to achieve.
As Churchill described…“I don’t like standing near the edge of a platform when an express train is passing through. I like to stand right back and if possible get a pillar between me and the train. I don’t like to stand by the side of a ship and look down into the water. A second’s action would end everything. A few drops of desperation.”… - Winston Churchill (1874-1965)- his ‘black dog’, so The Mad Pride writes of the ever present brooding ‘black dog’ set to music.
