Mayflower Madame (NOR) + Themispresented by BLACK TIDE - dark wave, goth, post punk and more

ver the past years, Mayflower Madame has gained a reputation far beyond their hometown of Oslo, Norway.
They made their debut with the album Observed in a Dream in 2016, which received rave reviews and earned them tours across Europe and North America, while 2020s long-awaited sequel Prepared for a Nightmare firmly established their position as one of the continent’s most distinctive bands in the psych- gaze genre, infused with 1980s post-punk and dark romanticism.
The covid-19 pandemic hit hard just after their sophomore release, making the title eerily appropriate. However, in 2022, Mayflower Madame finally returned touring in the UK, France and Eastern Europe. The following year the band focused on writing and recording new music while also releasing a Deluxe Version of Prepared for a Nightmare featuring five new bonus tracks. Their new album Insight was launched November 1st 2024 via Night Cult Records (digital), Up In Her Room (vinyl) and Icy Cold Records (CD).
Mayflower Madame is Trond Fagernes (vocals, guitar, bass) and Ola J. Kyrkjeeide (drums).
On live performances, the duo expands into a five-piece.

Themis draws his listeners to the darker side of indie music. He perfectly combines gloom with a touch of bitter-sweetness, emotional longing and a huge portion of Queer-Power. Reminding of artists like Placebo, PJ Harvey and Smashing Pumpkins, he delves deeper into the intoxicating mix of reverb-laden melodies, searing dirty riffs and noisy feedback chaos hinted at on his new Album.
