MARTHA SKYE MURPHY PICK YOURSELF UP
Hot on the heels of her evocative recent single 'Need', the continually enthralling Martha Skye Murphy details her debut album with yet another spine-tingling offering. Now signed to AD 93 (Coby Sey, Moin, Damsel Elysium & more), Um is set to arrive on the 14th of June, with 'Pick Yourself Up' 'picking up' where 'Need' left off. The production is eerily intimate, placing Murphy's experimental lead vocal at the centre of immersive instrumentation, consisting predominantly of haunting harpsichord plucks, whimsical flute work and highly unusual percussion. Keeping listeners on their toes, unexpected panning techniques place you at the centre of this uncanny soundscape, which exists somewhere between the past and the present. Watch the equally beguiling visualiser by Billy Howard Price here now. -Holly Mullineaux
