ST MARTiiNS get dreamy for Big Indie Big Nights show

Here at DIY, we’ve been teaming up with record label Big Indie for a new monthly live music night, the appropriately titled Big Indie Big Nights, where we put on a host of new artists that we’re very excited about indeed.

Taking place each month at Two Tribes Brewhouse and Tap Room, in Tileyard Studios, close to King’s Cross and DIY HQ, we’ll be putting on one band each month for the very reasonable price of £0.

Fresh from making the trip to London from their hometown of Dundee, ST MARTiiNS make quite the impression during their first show in the capital. Offering up slices of their dreamy and, at times, sparse electronica, Katie Lynch and Mark Johnston’s efforts are mesmerising, feeling even more powerful thanks to their extra live members. Melding together Katie’s angelic vocals with darker tones, the likes of ‘do ur words’ come packed with noodling Foals-esque guitars, while ‘othr grls’ boasts a hooky chorus, embued with a real funky feel.

The real jewel in their crown comes in the form of ‘ur so pretty’ – the band’s recent release with Big Indie – a track flecked with smooth R’n’B and swirling beats. Providing a more introspective round of Big Indie Big Nights than in the past, perhaps, but ST MARTiiNS’ intricate brand of electro-pop is endlessly appealing.

For the next edition of Big Indie Big Nights, we’ll be joined by Glossii. Tickets are free and will be available soon on a first come, first served basis…
