Coming from Oslo , Norway , Mayflower Madame ’ s music is , almost obviously , filled with obscurity . Their debut , Observed in a dream , brings dark wave and shoegaze influences . We asked them a few questions . Can you tell the story of your band so far ? Mayflower Madame was actually conceived when me ( Trond – vocals / guitar ) and Rune started playing together as kids in the early
2000s , but today ’ s band was formed in Oslo in the winter of 2010-11 . At first we struggled to find a singer that fitted our sound , but after a while our patience ran out and we booked our first gig without having a complete band . I was “ forced ” to handle the vocals , but luckily we found out that this was a good solution . We recorded a demo and in August 2011 we were voted “ Band of the Week ” on a

interview
