'man oh man !' is the sophomore 11 track album from indie singer-songwriter Martin Luke Brown

Marking a signifcant new era in both his personal and musical life, Martin tackles a myriad of themes; self-awareness and personal growth, treasured friendships, swept-off-your-feet romance and gut wrenching heartbreak - all with a laidback, indie singer-songwriter sound that naturally shapes the album into three linear phases: the end of a relationship, new beginnings and the consequential feeling of accepting change.

Described by Martin as a 'time capsule', each track on the album was written and recorded in one day, making for a raw and honest snapshot of Martin's life experiences at the time. Instrumentation is simple and recorded with producer and friend Matt Zara using almost exclusively analog technology - tape machines and vintage mics, a messiness that the duo embraced from the get go.

Martin has released over 100 songs as either a co- writer or a producer, with BTS, Dylan, Jacob Banks, Gavin James, Sam Tompkins, James Smith, Sody and Jack Kane. He has also seen a wealth of success as part of pop supergroup FIZZ alongside Orla Gartland, dodie, and Greta Isaac, earning widespread praise from the likes of Rolling Stone UK, Dork, DIY, Clash & more.

Martin Luke Brown is one of four members of the indie pop supergroup FIZZ, debuting at #31 OCC with their new album this year
