MARTHA SKYE MURPHY CONCRETE (FEAT. LEYA)

The exquisite Martha Sky Murphy has revealed yet another otherworldly single. Featuring New York duo LEYA and Simon Raymonde of Cocteau Twins on bass, 'Concrete' was co-produced by Skye Murphy and her now frequent collaborator Ethan P. Flynn. Following her captivating recent singles 'Stuck' and 'Found Out', the palpable tension of 'Concrete' leaves you hanging on every word. Delving deeper into the experimental with every second that passes, Skye Murphy and Flynn create an atmosphere that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up as subtle synth swells and slanted strings move beneath Skye Murphy's considered vocal work. So eloquently providing insight to the tracks's lyric content, she says: "‘Concrete’ is told from the perspective of a captor to their beloved hostage. Part lamentation, part chant, this is the last joust in a triad on escapism and desire." Watch the equally fixating video for 'Concrete (feat. LEYA)' here now. -Holly Mullineaux
