MADELINE JOHNSTON

Madeline Johnston

is a Denver based artist whose project Midwife has been called "heavy and hypnotic, full of nearly wordless ruminations on the pain of loss" by Pitchfork and " insular-landscape empty-space music, like what might happen if Grouper went shoegaze." by Stereogum. Johnston's music is full of dramatic builds, gauzy drones punctuated by her characteristic, static-filled delivery through custom built microphones. A critical darling, Madeline Johnston's work is a thing of great weight and beauty.
