Growing up as one of six children, Martha O’Brien is no stranger to choosing her words wisely in order to be heard at the table. Having honed her composition in prose, poetry and academia, Martha now turns her hand to songwriting. Her passion for honest, bare-bones folk is realised with assistance from her brothers: a thoroughly family affair inherited and developing from their Welsh-Irish roots. Martha’s debut EP ‘Caution, Horses!’ packs a myriad of images, ideas and emotions into four songs. Themes of love, loss and introspection are playfully painted through scenes of house parties, delayed trains and rats dancing to George Michael. Inspired by the likes of Adrianne Lenker and Tiny Ruins, Martha’s ability to capture the personal and painful in honest simplicity marks her as the latest exciting talent to emerge in the indie-folk world.
