Ward Thomas, the first and only UK Country act to achieve a No.1 album with 2016’s Gold selling ‘Cartwheels’, are back. After the brilliant lockdown album release of ‘Invitation’, the Hampshire-duo return with ‘Music In The Madness’ – their fifth studio album. Trust Ward Thomas to look for light in troubled times. ‘Music In The Madness’, the twins’ remarkable fifth album, is both a harmony-soaked balm for shattered souls and an uplifting reminder of what really matters.
Love, family, unity and the healing power of music are recurrent themes on an album begun as war broke out in Ukraine and the world went into a post-Covid tailspin. While most of us struggled to sit through the news, Catherine and Lizzy did as they have for a decade-wrote songs to make sense of what they were seeing.
“In Ukraine in particular we witnessed these wonderful, moving moments of music in the madness,” says Catherine. “Soldiers singing the national anthem and getting married on the front line. The viral video of the girl in a bomb shelter singing Let It Go. In times of crisis, music matters even more. That’s what we set out to celebrate.
