Martha’s first album of new originals since 2008's I Know Your Married But I've Got Feelings Too. This Limited Edition Australian Deluxe Edition includes 3 bonus tracks that aren't available on the US edition.
Martha is of course a member of the famous Wainwright/McGarrigle clan. She made the Triple J Hottest 100 in 2006 with the controversial single ‘Bloody Mother F***ing Asshole’. She has a substantial fan base in Australia, is adored by Australian media and has toured here a number of times, most recently in 2011 on the back of ‘Sans Fusils, Ni Souliers, a Paris: Martha Wainwright's Piaf Record’
Recorded earlier this year, mostly at Sean Lennon’s home studio in New York City, Come Home To Mama displays the passionate angst of her 2005 eponymous debut coupled with the twisted pop of 2008’s I Know Your Married But I've Got Feelings Too.
The captivating 10-song set (not counting the three acoustic tracks) features backing from Jim White (Dirty Three), Yuka Honda, Nels Cline (Wilco), Sean Lennon, Brad Albetta and Thomas Bartlett (Doveman).
In addition to the new set of originals, the album includes Martha’s version of ‘Proserpina’, the last song written by her late mother Kate McGarrigle. A stunning video for the song was made for and exclusive premiered on the high end fashion/culture/lifestyle website Nowness.com
The album features material written by Martha since the birth of her first child and the passing of her mother, both of which occurred over the winter of 2009 and 2010.
