Incredibly, despite being only 26, this is the North Yorkshire singer-songwriter's 5th album and further evidence that she is in possession of talent well beyond her years. On this confident forward step of an album, Marten breaks out of the solo mould she is perhaps known for and expands her sound with the help of a fascinating cast of collaborators. Recorded with Laura Veirs/ Adrienne Lenker producer Phil Weinrobe and with sprinkles of gold dust from Sam Evian, Sam Amidon, Brazilian percussionist Mauro Refosco, virtuosic guitarist Mike Haldeman and more, the spirit of collaboration runs deep through the record. The result is a warm, rich, and textured album that bathes in hazy nostalgia and burns with confidence and self-belief, a subtle left-turn that cements Marten as an artist reaching her creative peak
