“A project which exists in defiance of poverty and disability, functioning both as a source of healing and a way to spite the challenges life has placed in their way.” That’s how we described Hamilton, Ontario‘s Madam Sad back in 2024, with singles like ‘Hope For You‘ and ‘Ex’s‘ showing “the heart which underpins the [project], as well as its willingness to confront difficult things with a compassionate face.” The latest Madam Sad full-length HRT Vocal Transition is no different, an album which documents the experience of testosterone hormone replacement therapy as part of a gender transition in chronological time, each track marked with a date to position it within the process.
Opener ‘Pre T.Lesser Need’ serves as the baseline from which to chart this change, one of only two songs on the record performed before starting testosterone (the other, ‘Heaven State’, is paired with a version performed six and a half months into HRT to make the comparison even clearer). But while the vocals are understandably central to the release, the record is far more than a simple exercise is comparison. Each song is its own a sonic collage, lo-fi folk embellished with a variety of ambient sounds, instruments and samples. The result is strikingly intimate while still reaching for universal experience. Single ‘2.7 mo.Narcissism’ embodies this style, bathed in rich textures and delivered with assured conviction even as disorder seeps into the sound. “At 2 months and 3 weeks into my transition, ‘Narcissism’ adds chaos to the album,” Madam Sad explains:
Like other tracks on the HRT album, I use life sounds as percussion or to add a bassy depth. Towards the end of ‘Narcissism’ I use a non-timed random track of putting dishes away to syncopate to the outro of the song. As well the trumpet in this song was almost entirely cut and paste recycled from the original take, which again makes doing a lot with a little feel very possible. With all songs on the album, I regularly just throw in a field recording and make it work. Kind of the beauty of experimentation, the stakes feel low.
