Madrid already have an official video for “Iron Ways,” a track from the Toronto electro duo’s sophomore album Original Message. This in-studio footage finds them tackling the track as a trio with a sort of airy, buoyant intensity (i.e. it “rocks” more than the original). To give you an idea of the overall textures, Original Message‘s opener “Out To Sea” is included on Ulrich Schnauss’ upcoming remix compilation Missing Deadlines and the guys participated in Lushlife’s remix project (along with Brendan Canning, Jimmy Tamborello, etc.). That said, they remind me most of Holy Fuck-ing Delorean. Robot voice in full effect.
The “Iron Ways” single is out 2/2 via YYZ Records. It’ll include remixes from Bit Funk and XI. This is the aforementioned official video treatment:

why would they call themselves madrid? enough with the spanish names and the animal names, go away hacks.
They’ve been around for 10 years = not hacks.
blah blah blah…..bottom line, this is a pretty solid track, and a very solid performance of it. good work Canada!
I’ve been told the Bit Funk remix on this is killer
very cool.
