M'ADAM is the new indie folk project from Cork based songwriter Adam O'Donovan. M'ADAM is a unique artist marrying the hushed soul of acoustic folk with pulsating electronic synths.
Started in September 2019, M'ADAM's debut album Horse Food Budget 1984 is a story crafted through captivating melodies, beautiful rhythmic work and inspired by overcoming challenges from both the self and the world. The listener will find themselves brought gently into the fold through upbeat, fun songs like 'Come In' and 'Cuckoo' before voyaging through darkness with songs like 'Second Place' and 'Doubt It'. The album ends on notes of hopefulness and triumph with the incredible 'You Are Back'. Overall, it is the tale of an optimists journey to the depths of the soul, battling demons, making peace and pledging to soldier on.
M'ADAM's Adam O'Donovan is a seasoned veteran of the Cork music scene having performed with acts like Atlantis Fire Department, Cassidy Club and Rob Carlile. 

Horse Food Budget 1984 was recorded and mixed at Stoneview Studios with Colin Noone, with additional recordings and contributions from Fintan McKahey in Ivy Hill studios as well as home studios in Cork, Manchester and further afield in a time where isolation was an unfortunate reality for all.
