OH OUR GOD

WELL THIS IS VERY EXCITING SO EXCITING WE HAVE LEFT CAPS ON AS A LITTLE TREAT TO CELEBRATE BEING EXCITED.

We're going to be honest with you. We love Martha Wainwright but we didn't even know she was working on a new album... We mean, it makes sense. She's an artist. She hasn't retired (to our knowledge). She hasn't released an album in a while. It was bound to happen. But, much as we love her, we'd sort of forgotten she'd existed... that is until NOW.

AND OH OUR GOD. Her come back song is greater and more beautiful and fragile and brilliant and overwhelmingly stunning than we ever would have imagined. I mean, Martha is always excellent in her ability to tug at heartstrings, but it's usually more subtle and less... 'showy' than this.

But it's great. Oh our god so great. Especially considering 2012 has been so drab for music so far.

Gosh we're excited.

The song is called "Proserpina" (oo-er) and it's taken from her new album Come Home to Mama which is apparently out on the 15th of the month known commonly as October.
