Carrie, the lead singer, is a classically trained vocalist and pianist, with a degree in music - very professional, quality voice. Her soaring vocals and layered harmonies fill the top-end of this remarkable duo. Mark is trained in the school of modern rock, with influences drawn from Celtic and some new-age, which create ambient, sometimes dark musical tapestries filled with melodic guitar and meaningful lyrical composition. Once married, you get children of course, then this sort of Sarah McLachlanish, fronting U2 - (taking some liberties). Their music has been compare to the Cranberries, Sinead O'Connor, Loreena McKennit. What makes this that more interesting is the fact that they've been placing samples of their first demo CD on the internet as they record in MP3 format. Layered harmonies and meaningful lyrics make MadelynIris stand out among all the other artist at Soundclick.COM.
