Madviolet - Worry the Jury

Brenley MacEachern and Lisa Marie MacIsaac hooked up in Toronto before a series of  events led to forming working relationships with premier UK producer John Reynolds, Sinead O'Connor's backing band and Indigo Girls manager Russell Carter.

The result is a debut full-length CD under the name of Madviolet which documents a six-week recording blitz in London that Brenley calls 'absolutely magic, a dream creative experience.'

After a false start that saw a half-dozen completed songs (including a ska version of Paul Simon's Mother and Child Reunion) lost to a computer glitch, Worry The Jury was cut and features 10 songs that range from big beat, radio-friendly anthems (Light It Up) to shimmering ambient pop built around Lisa's multi-tracked strings (Scarlett. I'm Alright) and rootsier numbers that reflect the live show (Save A Song, Left Foot).

Worry The Jury, however, proves that Madviolet is restricted by neither genre nor geography. 'I'm a Celtic fiddle player, but this is definitely not a Celtic band,' says Lisa.
