Off-kilter tunes from Glasgow:

"Amazing band (...) Don't know much about them except that they're brilliant" Tom Robinson, BBC6 Music

"Falling Elevator” is one of several songs from their recent debut album, Dedicated, that has us utterly gobsmacked. Few bands in recent memory have stopped us dead in our tracks the way they have. If you love engaging, smart indie pop steeped in culture and off-beat fun, then put First Tiger in heavy rotation." - The Revue

"Great young Glasgow band." - Single of the Week, Janice Forsyth Show, BBC Radio Scotland

"First Tiger somehow manage to cram more variety into one song than many acts achieve in a lifetime. It’s refreshing to see a band who aren’t afraid of pursuing their own artistic course, rather than trying to jump on some popular bandwagon." - Fresh On The Net

"...total running time of just over thirty minutes it’s pleasing to find just so much packed in here. Thankfully the temptation to overcook things has been avoided and the tracks flow along with a lightness of touch that should keep the listener hooked from beginning to end." - The Barley Boat

"... musically so packed with surprising hooks and turns that it will take you a while to discover it all (...) We have here, I dare say, pop songs as they should be if the grown-up customer of the record industry was ever asked for his/her opinion.(...) Stories from inevitable everyday life, bitter sweet love stories, self-deprecating opinions on relationships, presented with immense humour and an unerring eye for detail. Tracks include the quirky, rocking, slow and saddish, but behind every note and every letter, the individuality of First Tiger jumps at you." - Offbeat Music

Martha's new EP ‘First Light’ is out 16th September 2022, including the single ‘To Be Happier’, out 9th September.

Like the soundtrack to a classic spy film, UK-based songstress Martha Bean’s expansive soundscapes and soaring falsetto have earned her comparisons to artists Nick Drake, Laura Veirs, and Andy Shauf.

The songs on this EP explore Martha's battle with insomnia and postnatal depression (she became a first-time mother not long before the pandemic struck), and self-worth (A Troubled Mind). The EP closes on a lighter, more positive note with To Be Happier, reminiscent of Carole King or Randy Newman.

“There’s no doubting the talent on display. Sufjan Stevens meets Debussy. Beautiful.”

 “Something sweet and cloying in a good way, combined with that darkness. Loved it!” – Sarah Gosling, BBC Introducing in the South West

"A wondrous indie-pop masterclass" - Indie Rocks Radio

"It may only be April, but this song has such an infectious spring in its step it can surely turn an existential crisis into a feel-good-hit for the summer" – God is in the TV

“British singer-songwriter Nell Davies has a knack for coming up with catchy, sunny side up songs… This DIY effort is utterly charming” – Here Comes the Flood


Nell Davies is an indie singer, songwriter and guitarist, based in rural west Cornwall. She began making music in 2020, when reading Viv Albertine’s autobiography inspired her to buy a guitar and write her first song. She records in a converted pigsty in the garden of her house.
