May 1986
Martha and the Muffins
The World is a Ball
Genre: New Wave
4 out of 5
Highlights:
Only You
You know what I was thinking of while listening to this? Mates of State. What happened to them? They sort of popped in out of nowhere, took the mantle of elder states people married Indie Pop Rockers and then I never heard of them again.
Martha and her husband, whom she met while in the band, are the band at this point.
And, like MofS, they were New Wave stalwarts and then…gone.
This album is cute. Sometimes it seems to be trying to be pop Kate Bush “Only You” and I appreciate that. Sometimes it’s just hypnotic New Wave Dance Pop. I’m ok with that.
