Factory

Martha Wainwright

Zoë/Drowned In Sound

WE SAY

Another challenging but charming single from our new joint favourite member of the remarkable Wainwright/ McGarrigle family. The Independent ran an extensive piece on Martha here and other press cuttings are here. She supported Wilco at the Hammersmith Apollo this week and headlines London's Scala on April 25, kicking off her UK tour. She plays the British Underground showcase, the Bootleg BBQ, at SXSW tomorrow (Saturday 20 March) at Pok-E-Joes Smokehouse, 1603 W 5th St, Austin at 1pm.
