Midnight World Pop Scout-14: Marthas and Arthurs; Wolf Gang; Is Tropical

And here is 14th in our series of pop around the world. We scout so you don't have to.



Tom Ball, Esther Ball, Mary Douglas-Home and Matt Hart are Marthas and Arthurs, and they might sing some of the best indie pop you've ever heard. The Guardian's reviewer referred to their sound as "Belle & Sebastian backing Mamas & Papas".

"Sally Started it All", supposedly about a girl named Sally who started out signing with the group:



Some of their earlies performances were at care centers, chosen because the residents 'couldn't run away'.

"Clamour for a Fudge"



I recommend that you check out the Bandcamp link below, as it offers a free download of their Apes in Aeroplanes EP.
