[POP] Vermont-based five piece Madaila makes uber-catchy electro-soul-pop that’s topped off by frontman Mark Daly’s falsetto, creating a sound that reminds of artists like Passion Pit, Jamie Lidell, !!, and Breakbot. While that accounts for much of the material on 2015’s The Dance, they spread out in a live setting, bringing a more progressive element into the mix and allowing them to display the musicianly chops that their tidy studio work only hints at. Regardless, Madaila offers plenty of groove, delivering it with an oddball sense of humor that reminds of Vermont’s other big musical export—but the similarities end there. Catch them on the eve of releasing a second full length with Annasun at Buffalo Iron Works on Wednesday, August 17.
