Lovers of legendary
Canadian folk singer Joni Mitchell are in for an extra treat this week – that’s
if you’ve not already heard Martha Tilston’s new album, Machines of Love and
Grace, beckoning in the winter this autumn.

Tilston is not your
average singer-song writer and she is certainly the first of her kind to emerge
in recent years, although her music is not by any means above Mitchell.
Singing about the
contrasts between insatiability of the finance world (Wall Street) and other
social injustices; her lyrics express the conflicts between the modern world
and the human state – but beautifully.
Who could not love her
artistic style (Tilston like Mitchell is a painter) – particularly the painting
for this album cover suits the whimsical resonance of her vocals with a surreal
landscape of boats, travellers, clouds and giraffes.
Watch her animated music
video for Stags Bellow. We imagine ourselves back in the sixties with beads in
our hair and dancing around wood-burning fires - a mix of campervan living and
Celtic-calls of the wild; perfect for the bohemian within.
You can buy the album from her website or download it from iTunes. She is next playing live November 08 at Bush Hall, Shepherd’s Bush in London.
