Lila Tristram is at her vulnerable best on powerful new single "Martha May"

With "Martha May," the latest single from her forthcoming album, Lila Tristram takes a deep dive into the darker corners of the heart. This haunting track explores the anguish of loss with an intensity that lingers long after the final note fades.

From the opening notes, "Martha May" captivates with its moody chords and ethereal vocal delivery. Tristram's voice is steeped in pain and vulnerability as she sings, “Martha May, come back / You’re not a criminal.” The song’s slow-burning intensity grows with angular rhythms, driving drum lines, and turbulent synths, culminating in a storm of emotion. It’s a sound that balances tenderness with raw power, evoking comparisons to an emotional Bond theme.

"When we were in the studio recording this song, it just became darker and heavier until we really fell into it," Tristram explains. "This song isn't about an ex or any kind of romantic love. It's about losing a friend, and for me, that's the hardest loss I have ever had to face."

Engineered by Gus White, the production seamlessly blends traditional and modern techniques, weaving in violin recordings processed through 80s modular synths for a chilling, atmospheric effect.  "Martha May" is a bold step forward for Tristram, showing a maturity and depth that marks her as a rising force in the indie scene. As she channels her grief into art, this single is a testament to her ability to turn heartbreak into something devastatingly beautiful.
