Chamber music, Yiddish folk, gypsy laments -- the members of Madagascar draw on these influences, and more, on Forced March, their debut album for Western Vinyl. The nostalgic, sweeping waltzes and melancholy dirges are powered by a disparate collection of acoustic instruments (accordion, ukulele, musical saw, and glockenspiel, to name a few) seamlessly woven together in Madagascar's hands. It's street music for some long extinct city, the soundtrack for the dreams of gypsies, and a breath of fresh air from a unique new voice in music.
