Madronas is a New York City duo of Ry Fyan and Isaiah Barr performing on modular synth and woodwinds, respectively. Their debut LP is a frigid, spiritual thing. It’s music made to re-thaw the listener back into a wintery state of mind. The perpetual winter. When I call this music psycho jazz, I do not mean it lightly. These squeaks and bleeps operate in tantalizing high definition, perfect for high-voltage headphone burn on your next multi-mile anxiety walk. Music for staring into the distance, music for wearing a robe—religious or otherwise—music for drinking peppermint tea in a dark room. Tip!
