Madra Salach announce their debut EP, It’s a Hell of an Age
Alternative folk six-piece Madra Salach have announced the release of their debut EP, It’s a Hell of an Age, and share its second single, "I Was Just A Boy".
Speaking on the new single, bandleader Paul Banks reflects; “The song came from Adam, it was originally just the riff and I remember saying that it would work well as a brief instrumental track. We started playing around with it as a full band, and suddenly we had this 7 minute track on our hands. I centred the lyrics around my adolescence, the tumultuous nature of it. We had fun experimenting with pedals for some unique sounds on the outro, it’s a bit of a diversion from the more straightforward folk writing on our first single.
“I Was Just A Boy” is out now, with the It’s a Hell of an Age EP to follow on 23 January 2026.
