Madaila is led by Mark Daly, formerly the frontman of Chamberlin. The pop juggernaut's debut record, "The Dance", is upbeat, synth-heavy, and catchy. Vocal skill and range are immediately apparent. But in the tradition of Prince and more recently Frank Ocean, there is an ornateness and occasional darkness to this pop music that exposes Madaila's complexity and musicianship. Tight arrangements and multi-instrumental performances showcase musical minds at work. Tight spandex and neon, technicolor attire showcase a different side. The band is a part of Future Fields, a musical creation & amplification group based in Burlington, Vermont.
