Medea

MEDEA is a dark and dramatic alternative rock band born in 1999. So far there are three well-received albums of original music and now Medea has reconvened to create more dark and sultry compositions, colored by recent national and personal tragedies, and flavored by the ever-present feeling that time is growing short.


“Medea is a complex beast. It’s got progressive rock on its mind, a torch-song heart, and the guts of a hard-driving rock band… It’s an alchemic mixture that brings electric guitar to ethereal folk, marries jazzy elegance to R&B, and puts singer-songwriter acoustic in the middle of a smoky, velvet-wallpapered lounge… Medea is light and shade, muscle and mind, comedy and tragedy.”


“Fronted by the throaty, dramatic thrush Irene Lambrou, Medea will put a spell on you with their dreamy music I’d dub ‘goth-elegant.’… Lush keyboard flourishes, buzzy Jorma Kaukonen-style guitar and a slick rhythm section add to a production sheen so finessed a major label could put out this set with pride. Fans of classically-influenced popsters such as October Project, (early) King Crimson and Renaissance will like ‘em. So, too, will devotees of Heart, Indigo Girls and Sade. Grade: A.” — Jonathan Takiff, Philadelphia Daily News

“The quintet Medea plays dreamy elegant pop highlighted by the burnished alto of lead singer Irene Lambrou.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer
