Martha Skye Murphy is an experimental vocalist and musician using genre and vocal metamorphosis to dislocate and immerse listeners within encoded narratives. Unpredictable, theatrical and tender, her debut album, ‘Um’, was released in June 2024 to critical acclaim with label AD93.
The dexterity of her instrument and a desire to push boundaries have stimulated collaborations with Nick Cave, Squid, LEYA, Roy Montgomery, claire rousay, More Eaze, Gentle Stranger, Maxwell Sterling, Marta Salogni, among others.
Murphy’s live shows are intimate and affecting while being staged as spectacles. She has performed internationally at festivals, churches and concert halls such as ReWire, Pitchfork, Full of Lava, Grauzone, MENT, Kiezsalon<>IKLEKTIK, Heart of Noise, and De Thomaskerk. In 2022, Murphy premiered her electronic opera, ‘Postcards Home’, at The Southbank Centre.

Dean McPhee plays a Fender Telecaster through a valve amp with percussion and effects, and he is influenced by Dub, Modal Jazz, British Folk, Underground Electronic Music and Psychedelic Rock. A self-taught musician with a fluid, understated technique and an inventive approach to the instrument, his sound continues to evolve from sparse, echo-laden solo guitar music to a heavier, more multi-layered sound with deep bass and hypnotic riffs and loops.
Dean has toured in the UK and Europe, and opened for artists including Thurston Moore, Acid Mothers Temple, Michael Chapman, The Magic Band, Emeralds, Charalambides, Wolf People, Meg Baird and Michael Hurley to name a few. His latest album ‘Astral Gold’, which came out earlier this year, was critically acclaimed by the likes of The Quietus, Uncut Magazine, Aquarium Drunkard, MOJO, Loud and Quiet, KLOF Mag and Brainwashed. Dean is part of the Folklore Tapes collective and helps run the label Hood Faire with Sam McLoughlin and David Chatton Barker.
