String arrangements by Jonathan Zwartz
‘Every now and then, in a male dominated industry and a traditionally male dominated field, one catches up with a female musician who blows ones socks off... Wry, conversational songs with the kind of rhythmic unusual singing and strange guitar tunings that is the most idiosyncratic and original type of thing and it is just delightful. It’s fresh, funny sad and sardonic – at once new and traditional’.
–Steve Kilbey (The Church)
A pure voice and more experimental instrumental tunings are the hallmarks of Martha Marlow’s sound and song writing. By playing alongside musicians including Katie Noonan, Clare Bowditch, Angie Heart (Frente), Thelma Plum, Thirsty Merc, Matt Corby, Abby Dobson, Bluejuice, Jinja Safari, Meg Mac and Darren Percival, Martha holds a firm position within the contemporary music scene.
Currently, Martha is also completing a fine Arts degree in painting at Sydney’s prestigious National Art School.
