Martha Skye Murphy has announced her debut album: Um is set to arrive June 14 via AD 93. With the news comes a new song, “Pick Yourself Up”—“an ode to mistrust, Fred & Ginger, and clear days,” as she put it in a press release. Check that out below, along with the album art and tracklist. Guests on the album include Claire Rousay and, on last month’s “Need,” Roy Montgomery.
Murphy added in press materials, “I wanted the album to feel like this constant tension between being in a very intimate domestic space, and then propelled into a far stranger environment that is difficult to situate. I want people to feel disoriented, erotically charged by the intimacy of a bedroom, then catapulted into a desert.”
Murphy co-produced the record with Ethan P. Flynn, with Marta Salogni and Heba Kadry handling the mixing and mastering, respectively. The record also features contributions from Caroline’s Alex McKenzie, Squid’s Laurie Nankivell, and others.
