Sons of Martha recently launched their debut track, “Midnight Deep End”, on January 24, 2025. The break single attempts to combine the essence and heart of indie rock with modern and nostalgic sounds and feel. These gentlemen formed a band in 2023 that includes seasoned musicians with plenty of experience bursting with passion and zeal in their work. The bright guitar sounds and mellow tunes that start “Midnight Deep End” promise to pull you into its fresh yet nostalgic vibe. The song was recorded in North London at Crouch End Studios, familiar to big names in the music industry. Their clean production captures the raw organic sound of each instrument simultaneously showcasing them.
The verbal aspects bring in meaning and are deeper than most things. As a drummer, Steven draws inspiration from observing his son play football. The lyrics portray quiet moments captured on the sidelines reflecting on the past decade. Alongside this, the music is composed by Josh Beach, the band’s vocalist. The fusion of words and voice creates a powerful, uplifting moment. “Midnight Deep End” features a stunning arrangement, which might be its best aspect. The track seems to build in an almost spiral fashion, adding melodies that are numbing and near trance-like. There are slices of R.E.M. and The Smiths guitar alongside hints of The Cure’s atmospheric undertones. The tight rhythm section serves as the backbone, eagerly pushing the song forward with strength and confidence.
Though Sons of Martha may be newcomers in the indie rock space, their music feels easefully familiar. The effortless combination of poignant stories with tunefulness gives “Midnight Deep End” its must-hear status. The song offers the perfect companion whether you’re looking to drive at night, or simply searching for a mood booster. Sons of Martha are just getting underway with new shows and tracks. And if this debut goes anything off of, they are bound to become the new favourite of indie rock lovers. Keep track of them, you will be grateful you did.
