The daughter of folk legend Steve Tilston, Martha found herself drawn to folk’s protest spirit and its themes of social justice from an early age. These themes are ever present in the eloquent, politicized questioning that suffuses her latest LP, 'Machines Of Love and Grace', released in late 2012, a collection of subtly charged acoustic folk songs, tinged with electric guitar and touches of electronica. The title is a nod to a beat poem by Richard Brautigan.

Melanie Wilson and Fuel present: Landscape II by Melanie Wilson
Three women separated by a hundred years start a conversation across time. Their parallel experiences reveal shared imaginings of identity and escape, as menacing undercurrents steal into their solitary and reflective lives. Their letters, diaries, drawings and photographs expose a series of threatening episodes and unsettling occurrences. As the landscape presses in on them, they draw upon the threads that connect them to survive.
Landscape II is a compelling solo work by Melanie Wilson. This bold hybrid of...
