Madina Lake - “Attics to Eden” Out Now! (Win Your Copy!)

By drainu182 ⋅ May 6, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Madina Lake has a new album out “Attics to Eden” produced by rock-album hitmaker David Bendeth (The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Breaking Benjamin, Killswitch Engage, Paramore). At Bendeth’s House of Loud Studios in Elmwood Park, NJ (soo close to home for The Audio Perv!), Madina Lake would create their best album yet.

“David broke us down — he was like a drill sergeant,” Matthew said, of the first time Madina Lake played some of the new material for Bendeth. “I was totally frazzled by the end of the first day. We thought it would be easy, because we knew the songs were there. We just thought we’d come in, and record them. But when we played them for him that first time, he just ripped us apart. He completely deconstructed us, and it hurt bad. But the pain was well worth it.”

“It was challenging making this record,” echoed brother and lead vocalist Nathan, of the band’s hard-nosed producer. “But at the end of the day, we are super proud of how it came out. I think we blew the first album out of the water. I guess artists are artists, and in our experience, you bump into people who…let‘s just say some have a level of talent that qualify their attitude, and some don’t. Bendeth is clearly a guy who does.”

Matthew explains how the band has progressed since their first album:
“The first record was us exploring,” Matthew claims. “With more life and experience under our belts, discovering who we are as individuals and as a group, we made the record that fits who we are now. Every artist and musician, it takes them a minute. We took that time, we toured, and now, we know who we are and that’s the record we made.”

Striving to create a record that would capture your attention and never let go, the band drew on some of their earlier influences:

“Our favorite records were ones that didn’t have one dull moment,” Matthew said. “We wanted to make a real record, a genre-less record and a timeless record. I think there are musicians like the White Stripes, where less is more — undoubtedly. Then there are bands like the Smashing Pumpkins or Nine Inch Nails, where they want all of these components attacking the ears from different angles, at all times. We’re the latter, the kind of band that wants as many components as possible.”
