It’s Madness
Friday 22nd May 2009, 12:01AM BST.
Rude boys Madness have returned to action with their first new studio album since 1999′s Wonderful.
The Liberty Of Norton Folgate comprises 14 tracks of quintessential Madness. It’s also the band’s first return to the public eye since their celebratory Christmas tour last year, which culminated in a sell out gig at the O2 in London.
Frontman Suggs said: “We’d been kicking around the idea of a concept album about London for a while. Why do certain areas seem to retain their distinct personality through centuries of time and the passing of generation’s different peoples?
“To peel back the layers and see what’s right there beneath our feet, to know that the dust blowing around them is the same dust they skipped in. We’re all dancing in the moonlight, we’re all on borrowed ground.
“Someone cleverer than me said no one man could ever really understand the whole of London. Of course not, it’s just too big. Just ask a north Londoner about anywhere south of the river. Even the areas we were born and grew up in have changed and mutated in our own lifetimes.”
The Liberty Of Norton Folgate is out now on Lucky Seven Records.
