Madra (meaning "dog" in Irish) is an 11-track debut album by Irish indie‑rock band NewDad, released January 26, 2024 via Fair Youth / Atlantic Records. Anchored by Julie Dawson’s ethereal vocals, the album delves into themes of self‑exploration, depression, bullying, self‑sabotage, codependency, destruction, and resistance. With spiraling guitars, hypnotic basslines, and fuzzy shoegaze textures, Madra blends haunting dream‑pop atmospheres with post‑punk bite and existential lyricism. Recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales, produced by Chris W. Ryan, and mixed by Alan Moulder, the album firmly establishes NewDad as a powerful emerging voice grounded in both emotional vulnerability and textural ambition.
