Back in 2020, we covered the release of the album Prepare For A Nightmare by Norwegian post-punk band Mayflower Madame, They have now re-released their second full length album as a deluxe version, on Only Lovers Records, with five new tracks included. In celebration, Mayflower Madame have dropped the single “Dresden“.

The wandering guitars echo and plunge, for going out on this night might change your life forever, whether that is for your betterment or walking into disaster. The vocals are lethargic and almost unenthusiastic, like the singer knows the future, like a fortune teller, and there is a portent of gloom, especially if you take into account, Dresden burnt to the ground in WW2..

The accompanying video for “Dresden“, is a collection of noir, mostly silent films, cut together in a lovely montage of breathtakingly porcelain females. The signature psychedelic guitars are present and the synths have created an eerie background, held together with the drums and bass. Post-punk from Norway is alive and kicking with Mayflower Madame at the fore.
