Saint Martyn

About

SAINT MARTYN IS THE PROJECT OF TRANS ARTIST RYANNE ST MARTYN, A SELF-TAUGHT MUSICIAN AND VISUAL ARTIST BASED IN LEICESTER, UK. ST MARTYN CREATES A UNIQUE SOUND THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS "GOTHTRONICA," A FUSION OF ELECTRONICA AND GOTHIC MUSIC. IN RYANNE’S OWN WORDS SAINT MARTYN SOUNDS LIKE: “GARY NUMAN CRASHING A PLANE WHILST NINE INCH NAILS AND MASSIVE ATTACK HAVE AN ORGY IN THE CARGO HOLD". HER MUSIC IS OFTEN PERSONAL AND EMOTIONAL, EXPLORING THEMES OF GENDER DYSPHORIA, RELIGION, ADHD, AND COMPLEX PAIN. HER FIRST ALBUM, SMILE, WAS RELEASED IN 2021 AND GAINED A SMALL BUT DEVOTED CULT FOLLOWING. HER SECOND ALBUM, THE DAY GOD DIED, IS SET TO BE RELEASED ON JULY 3, 2023. THE ALBUM HAS ALREADY RECEIVED RAVE REVIEWS.: “THIS ALBUM IS FUCKING AMAZING… LIKE HOLY FUCKING SHIT… IT’S STUNNING… EVERY-TIME YOU LISTEN TO IT YOU HEAR SOMETHING NEW… RAW, PURE, EMOTION.” NEW MUSIC SATURDAY “DARK, INTENSE, MUSIC… IT’S AN ALBUM THAT GRABS YOU BY THE SCRUFF OF THE NECK, GIVES YOU A GOOD SHAKE AND SAYS ‘YOU WILL LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE GOT TO SAY’, IT’S FANTASTIC STUFF… SO UNIQUE" HOMEBREW ELECTRONICA “AN ASTOUNDING MULTI GENRE BLISTERING EXPLOSION OF RAGE, PAIN AND FEAR. RAILING AGAINST THE INJUSTICE OF BEING FORCED TO LIVE IN HIDING... AN EXCEPTIONAL ALBUM... DESERVES TO BE HELD UP AS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW THE TRANSGENDER EXPERIENCE CAN BE TRANSPOSED INTO HIGH ART” LISA SATURN, TRANS RADIO UK
