Set to lead the charge as one of Australia’s most exciting musical exports, bAnoffee is the impressive new solo project of Melbourne based singer and producer Martha Brown (Otouto, Dreamy and Delicious). Seemingly as minimal and raw as her previous projects, bAnoffe’s recipe of new wave R’n’B, meshed with gliding synths, syncopated beats and textured, effected vocals make for nothing less than a musical staple with newfound attitude.
With a fresh, nonchalant and non-committal attitude to any one musical style, the bAnoffee title is also the result of Brown’s complete submission to every part of her music until utter satiation. If self indulgence in one’s art was ever a negative thing, the creation of the bAnoffee moniker acts as a metaphorical shield against any such consequences of her music – be it her lyrics about love turned sour, or statements of empowerment lacquered in polite profanities – “I’m a fucking ninja now, I won’t let you bring me down”.
The upcoming debut EP of five, honeyed tracks including leading singles ‘Ninja’ and ‘Reign Down’, co-produced by long term collaborator Oscar Key Sung (Two Bright Lakes), not only touches on themes of fighting inner turmoil and
finding strength in self throughout, but is an expansion of her craft as she feels her way through the production process of the EP to completion.
bAnoffee debuts her incredible live show in New Zealand at the funny little tavern that could: The Golden Dawn, Saturday 10th October. Door sales only FIVE DOLLARS from 8pm. Get in early, silly!
