Tearjerker - Another Moon

In the first in a series of brand new PostMap collectable postcard singles, it gives Lost Map Records great pleasure to introduce Martha Ffion, with her double-shot of infectious surf-grunge guitars and ethereal girl-group vocals ‘No Applause’ / ‘Lead Balloon’. Recorded and produced by Tuff Love’s Suse Bear, who also plays bass on the tracks, and featuring The Phantom Band’s Ian Stewart on drums and Poor Things’ Craig Angus on lead guitar, the single marks a major step forward for the Glasgow-based Irish singer-songwriter, AKA Claire Martha Ffion McKay, who has been making a head-turning name for herself on the local scene, sharing stages with the likes of Jessica Pratt and C Duncan.

‘No Applause’ / ‘Lead Balloon’ follows on from the success of Martha’s 2014 debut EP ‘Go’, and marks a major development in her sound. Performing with a full band for the past year has transformed Martha’s songwriting process, and the new material has adopted a punchier edge with echoes of Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen and Courtney Barnett. But her core influences remain consistent and tangible: 60s icons like The Beatles, the Shangri-Las and Nancy Sinatra. There’s a hint of Blondie too, especially in the wry delivery of ‘Lead Balloon’s’ vocals, and a lyric which, with the deceptive bounciness of The Go-Gos, deals bluntly with familial breakdown and oppressive gender roles. The tracks are a taster for Martha’s forthcoming second EP, which will be recorded this summer at Glasgow’s Green Door Studios as part of their Super Groups project.

Martha Ffion’s new single comes as part of a collectable set of three PostMap releases (snail-mailed printed postcards stamped with a message from the artist and a unique download code), which will also include the Lost Map Sampler #2 (PostMap 01°01) and Randolph’s Leap’s ‘Isle Of Love’ EP (PostMap 01°02). The postcards will be priced £1 each, or can be bought as a set of 3 for £2. They will be made available exclusively from lostmap.com on May 26, 2015.

MARTHA FFION LIVE DATES:

SAT, JUN 6 @ B FESTIVAL, BALLOCH CASTLE COUNTRY PARK
JUL 24-25 @ WICKERMAN FESTIVAL, DUNDRENNAN

Out of Gothenburg comes Holy Now, a project that grew out of a strong need to create music from the heart, and their debut 7” single out 19th August via Beech Coma. With intimate melodies, yelling drums and sprawling choruses, the four piece lead you through their unique universe of timeless pop music in the vein of Alvvays, The Jesus And Mary Chain and Angel Olsen.

‘Wake Up’, a veritable pop dream of delirious vocals, riveting guitar solos and complex sensibilities, is the first taste of Julia Olander’s outstanding songwriting potential, backed by Ylva Holmdahl, Samuel Von Bahr and Hampus Eiderström Swahn. Tinged with melancholy throughout, the song also offers a light at the end of the tunnel. “It’s about wanting someone so much that everything gets messed up,” the band explain. “It’s about leaving, returning and letting go.”

‘Wake Up’ / ‘Please Love Me’ is released on 7” single on 19th August via Beech Coma. The single is the fourth instalment of a bi-monthly subscription series from the label, part-funded by Arts Council England, that has so far seen releases from Bruising, Lou E and Posture.

Glad To Be Here

Katie Von Schleicher - Glad To Be Here

This one is from January 2011 around the same time as a few of the EP songs. it's not exactly finished, the lyric is rough, but I still enjoy what it is and eventually this song lead to other tunes on the EP and on Shields that I'm happy with. It's a wintery New York song to me, it reminds me of home. And at this particular moment I miss home, and I feel like I should be there after all that's happened recently. So there it is. 

Not Coming Back

the raw tingling of a first trip outside after turning inside out, a drift down a river of hands, high fives and punches to the face, flipping you upside down like a woodlouse in a frying pan, an itch that scratches itself.
