Fusing soul, edgy indie, acoustic folk, and contemporary pop to stunning effect, Martha Hill and her band succeed in bringing four disparate strands into one perfect, coherent whole. It´s a sound that feels as though it´s been around forever, and at the same time utterly contemporary and cutting-edge. Hill´s superb, stop-you-in-your-tracks jazz-blues voice and unshirkingly honest, kitchen sink lyrical style summons the ghost of Amy Winehouse, backed up by superbly original, starkly minimal arrangement from her band.
