Our second album is almost ready!

In February we recorded our second album with Jeff Olson at Phoneticsound. It is now in the final mixing stages. We're very excited about this album, as it is a step above the first album. We have done lots with the arrangements and production. If the first album was black and white, this album is full colour. And you will be able to hear it soon! Stay tuned for updates.

Hi everyone!

It's been a while, but we're looking forward to some Martingales activity in the near future! We've booked time at Phoneticsound Studio in February for the recording of our second album. We're very excited about it, as we have lots of new songs we want you to hear!

In other news, we have a show coming up in Edmonton on December 28, at the Three Bananas Cafe. Details coming soon.
