New Music Showcase: [UM] from Martha Skye Murphy

 

Welcome back, dear listener. A lot can change in a week, can't it? What happens next? Nothing good, that much I can tell you. Things have taken quite a turn, and who knows if we'll ever find any light at the end of the long, dark tunnel that lies ahead. In short: we're fucked, and you'd better enjoy these next few months of relative sanity, because come January 20 it's all going to hell. But that's not today's problem, dear listener. Today, there's a brand-new episode of TRAPPO out there on the internet for your listening pleasure. And not just any episode either, but a New Music Showcase! You remember those, right? Some listeners wanted us to do more New Music Showcases, and then I guess they just stopped listening to the show altogether because the listener numbers don't reflect any excitement over these episodes. So why do we keep doing them? Because we like listening to cool new music, and we like the idea of introducing our listeners to cool new music. That's pretty much it. No need to overthink things. 

And what's the cool new music on the menu this week? It's [UM], the debut album from a talented new artist from the UK named Martha Skye Murphy, and we think it's worth your time. If you'd like to listen to us ramble about this new album for a little while, then you're in luck, because it's embedded below. You can also find the show on Apple, Pocket Casts, RadioPublic, Spotify, Spotify Too, and Amazon, so choose your own adventure and check out some cool new music courtesy of your friends as TRAPPO!

Would you like to listen to [UM] from Martha Skye Murphy? You should, and it's so easy to do, since there's an embed directly below this text, or you can check out her Bandcamp page by CLICKING HERE!

And now it's time for a poll. You knew it was coming. That's part of the format, after all. Do you like [UM]? Do you think it's worthy of being inducted into the TRAPPO Essentials Can(n)on?
