Martha Skye Murphy's debut album Um, released in 2024 on AD 93, announces the arrival of a singular and fully-formed artistic voice. Her remarkable, fragile soprano — punctuated by bursts of operatic ululations — anchors a sound that melds baroque beauty with electronic noise, weaving together organic and artificial textures in ways that feel both intimate and expansive. Co-produced with Ethan P. Flynn, the album features contributions from an impressive array of collaborators including claire rousay, Roy Montgomery, and members of caroline and Squid.
Um is a strikingly alluring record that balances lavish, layered arrangements with moments of quiet vulnerability, never allowing the rich production to overshadow Murphy's captivating vocals. Tracks like "Need" and "Kind" build through gleaming pianos, solemn guitar passages, and cascading harmonies, while the album as a whole moves fluidly between immersive plaintiveness and overwhelming sonic depth. It is a deeply assured debut that rewards careful listening from start to finish.
