"sukie smith, better known as madam, has a rare ability to combine the smoky, nocturnal atmospherics conjured by pj harvey or portishead or the velvet underground with a pop sensibility...sets her head and shoulder above the singer-songwriter masses ,as individual a voice as cat power or label mate jawp'

THE INDEPENDENT. ONE TO WATCH (APRIL 2008)

'contender for the noir niche occupied by hope sandoval ( mazzy star) and chan marshall (cat power) - madam is a real find !'

THE GUARDIAN 4/5 ****

'a girl with a taste for the dark stuff'

NME

Q Magazine
‘compellingly gritty and haunting’

Mirror
‘beguiling seductive blend of triphop stealth soundtrack atmospherics and skittering pop...' 

'madam is a name which should be written in bright neon outside big venues in the swanky part of town' ***** 4.5 / 5

THE SUN

'champions of sounds soft and subdued. the terrific madam favours sultry, slightly spooked and lusciously late-night americana noir'

TIME OUT

'she should give kylie and alison goldfrapp a run for their money'

CAROLINE SULLIVAN THE GUARDIAN

'an astonishing album of cruel beauty and emotional honesty, an immense talent.' 5/5*****

Producer on several electronic music projects for several years now, under the exclusive license of Blutonium Records since spring 2012.

Second album from London based singer-songwriter, Cat Nickless, coming out on new imprint Round Table Records in April 2018. A cross atlantic affair inspired by her time studying in New York and recorded in London. While in NY she developed a love for photography taking a series of 35mm film photographs, inspired by this and after working with Andrew 'Woody' Woodhead (Meraqi) to craft the songs she took these same analogue principles to London’s Soup Studios working with David Holmes (Ghostpoet, Nubya Garcia, Jakob), recording on original tape machines. But the connection wasn’t just in approach, each song was directly inspired by one of the photographs, leading to a feedback loop of creativity.
