We're a four piece band from North Wales.

All Divided Selves are a 3 piece from Wrexham. Taking influence from psych-rock, dub, electronic and experimental music to create their own Beautiful Ugly Music... a dark, heavy, narcotic trip born of warm fuzz and cold electronics.

New Album 'FLOCK' out now.

These are strange times. Everything is different. One thing we know, for sure, is that Jane Weaver continues to metamorphise...

New album ‘Flock’ is the record that Jane always wanted to make, the most genuine version of Jane Weaver, complete with unpretentious Day-Glo pop sensibilities, wit, kindness, humour, glamour...

It features an untested new fusion of seemingly unrelated compounds fused into an eco-friendly hum; pop music for post-new-normal times. Created from elements that should never date,its pop music reinvented.

Still prevalent are the cosmic sounds but ‘Flock’ is a natural rebellion to the recent releases which sees her decidedly move away from conceptual roots in favour of writing pop music.

Produced on a complicated diet of bygone Lebanese torch songs, 1980's Russian Aerobics records and Australian Punk.

The musician’s exposure to an abundance of lost records served as a reminder that you still feel like an outsider in this world and that by overcoming fears you can achieve artistic freedom.

It’s a consciously positive vision for negative times, as is the title track, a brooding andethereal song that stop/starts, like a cool jazz breakdown playing at the end of the world café. It underlines the discordant pop vibe that permeates ‘Flock’ and concludes on ‘Solarised’, a super-catchy, totally infectious apocalypse, a radio-friendly groove for last dance lovers clinging together in an effort to save themselves before the end of the night.

Mayflower Madame is a band from Oslo that specializes in a cinematic blend of post-punk, dream-pop and psych-noir. They made their debut with the LP "Observed in a Dream" in 2016 which created a buzz in the underground music press and earned them tours in both Europe and North America. Comparisons were made to bands like Bauhaus, The Cure, DIIV and The Black Angels.

Mayflower Madame’s long-awaited second LP "Prepared For A Nightmare" was launched in 2020 to excellent reviews. Through ten tracks of hypnotizing psychedelia, shimmering shoegaze and 1980s dark romanticism, the album conveyed the wintry feeling of their home country Norway – icy and gloomy, haunting and majestic. It was released by French labels Only Lovers Records and Icy Cold Records in collaboration with US label Little Cloud Records. 

The covid-19 pandemic hit hard just after their sophomore release, which made the title even more fitting than expected, but in 2022 Mayflower Madame finally returned to the European club stages again with mini-tours in the UK, France and Eastern Europe. The following year the band focused on writing and recording new music while also releasing a Deluxe Version of "Prepared for a Nightmare" containing 5 new bonus tracks. Their upcoming third album has been mixed and mastered by Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher, The Vacant Lots) and is due for release in October 2024 with the first single "A Foretold Ecstasy" to be launched May 10th. 

Some press quotes:

"Mayflower Madame adorn black hearts on the sleeves of their leather jackets with a sense of pride, and so they should." (8/10 score) - Under The Radar Magazine

"Wildly addictive mix of post-punk, shoegaze and psychedelia. Utterly superb." - Louder Than War

"Mayflower Madame makes gorgeously dissonant and urgent post-punk that seamlessly blends with shoegaze to unfurl layer upon layer of gauzy sonics over your ice-cold eardrums." - CVLT Nation

"Uniting tones of post-punk, noise-rock, shoegaze, and psych-rock seamlessly lends the band a characteristic sound that translates from an auditive experience into a visual one without batting an eye." - Everything Is Noise

"If you like your beats fast, your guitar riffs laden with atmospherics and your music dark, you could do far worse than Mayflower Madame. They’re a complex musical package tied up in a black post-punk bow." (8/10 score) - Backseat Mafia

"The love child of post-punk and neo-psychedelia." (8/10 score) - Classic Rock Magazine

"Their sneering vocals and wickedly distorted guitar riffs are pure Jesus & Mary Chain, the ominous, echo-drenched atmospherics recall Sisters of Mercy, and the overall and very palpable sense of fear and dread harken back to Faith-era Robert Smith." - BlackBook 

"Deeply atmospheric psychedelia." - Clash Magazine
