User Album Review
From a review by pitchfork.
Martha’s 2014 debut LP Courting Strong received positive praise for its autobiographical accounts of underdog outsiders told through extremely catchy hooks, anthemic outpourings, and plainspoken honesty. Perhaps most critical to Martha’s success on Courting Strong, and now on their sophomore effort Blisters in the Pit of My Heart, is their effortless fusion of pop and politics. It’s a relief to hear a record that acknowledges our disappearing freedoms and is still fun. Rather than leaving listeners exhausted with ideas, Blisters offers fodder for critical thought that can be digested while pogoing. As Stephens-Griffin explained in an interview, “We do politics, but we play pop.”
Martha are negotiating the intersections of reality and emotionality, and sometimes their idealism swells and spills over the brim. At times it may feel cheesy, or like “naive romantic shite” as they say at one point, but in the end, it’s honestly comforting.
