Based in Toronto, Martha and the Muffins comprised Martha Johnson (vocals, keyboards), Martha Ladly (vocals, keyboards, trombone), guitarist Mark Gane, bassist Carl Finkle, drummer Tim Gane and saxophonist Andy Haas. The group formed in 1977 and, on the strength of their debut independent single, Insect Love/Suburban Dream, were signed by Virgin U.K. to a contract. The bands debut album, Metro Music, appeared in 1980. After 1981s This Is the Ice Age and Danseparc two years later, Johnson and Gane moved the outfit to England and recorded Mystery Walk (1984) and The World Is a Ball (1986) as M+M. Martha and the Muffins were resurrected for 1992s Modern Lullaby.

- @湖苇：Martha and the Muffins are the Canadian Blondie, the overlooked 80’s pop geniuses, your new best friends. I first heard of them a few years back while living in a ridiculously expensive and cold apartment in the Rosemont ghetto. My roommate was a big 70-80’s indie post punk/alternative music fan and we’d spend some time in the living room eating ramen noodles and talking about all the music that was made way before we were even conceived and complaining about how shitty pop music was nowadays. That’s when Martha & the Muffins (also known as M + M, MatM) came along. They were the answer to this ache I had, the ache to find the perfect iconic Canadian indie pop band. Long story short, they released an incredible album called Metro Music back in 1980 and its first single, “Echo Beach”, made it to the top of charts in Canada, Australia and the UK. Core members Martha Johnson and Mark Gane remained while various band members gravitated around the eternal M + M ship. Rumours of a new album, now known as Delicate, had been circulating for several years before they officially announced its eminent release back in the summer of 2008. It’s the very first new material put out by the band since 1992’s Modern Lullaby. The forthcoming release of Delicate is the moment of truth; it’s time to see if the music matured wisely or if the sugary keyboards turned sour.
