Indie-Pop Group Market Releases New Single
HartlePool’s indie-pop group Market has unveiled their latest single, 'Oda Monty'. This playful take on a traditional love song is centered around Gardeners and the beloved Monty Don.
About Their Musical Journey
The new track from this five-member band follows the release of their debut EP, maintaining their distinct blend of indie while capturing the energetic essence of their live shows. The single was produced by Chad Rogers, recognized for his work with Benjamin Francis Leftwich and Cape Cube.
“We aimed to create a genuinely heartfelt love song, something we hadn’t tackled before due to our tendency to not take ourselves too seriously,” explains vocalist Evi. “Often, our lyrics feature clever wordplay, so when Ross (the drummer) suggested, ‘How about Monty Don, the famous gardener?’ he inspired the direction of the song’s narrative.”
Upcoming Tour Dates
The band consists of Evi Roads (vocals/guitar), Joel O'Beern (vocals/bass), Jack Persell (guitar), Matthew Short (synthesizer/vocals), and Ross Dixon (drums). They draw influence from artists such as Alvvays, Declan McKenna, Pulp, and Talking Heads. Market has previously supported acts including Alfie Templeman, Swim Deep, The Lottery Winners, and Abby Ozard.
Their upcoming tour dates are as follows:
February
15 Playbrew, Middlesbrough
19 Suprazza, Paris
21 Delivery Forecast, Liverpool
April
19 Stocktor Vertone, Stockton
