MarthaGunn – We Don’t Need Each Other
I must have overlooked this, when it was released on Valentines Day. And if I did, maybe you did too. By the way, a month later, itâs still as good as it was back then. So here we goâŠ
Iâm sure you remember MarthaGunnâs track Heaven, released four months ago. We Donât Need Each Other (great title for a Valentines Day release) is the Brighton five-pieceâs latest single. A groovy tune, which mixes timeless pop beats with their signature funky guitar riffs. Call it indie pop, if you like. This infectious and energetic song with relatable and punchy lyrics might as well be the ultimate anti-Valentines anthem.
Sure to be liked by fans of Haim.

MarthaGunn – Heaven [2019 Version]
MarthaGunn are a band named after the Brighton folk heroine known as the âpriestess of the bathâ. It features frontwoman Abi Woodman and her close friends Max, Humphrey, Ally and Frankie. They take inspiration from bands ranging from Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles to Mystery Jets and Haim.
Their debut single Heaven has grown into a live favourite since its release in 2016. The band just released a re-recorded version of it, which sounds fresh all over. When sharing the track to the band’s social media, Woodman explained:Â “When I wrote Heaven, I was playing out a fantasy in my head and exploring a path I could only dream of taking. A few years on and I have stopped living in fantasies. I go after everything my soul desires. Heaven is a song for anyone dreaming of something more.”

Your âAll-Timeâ Favourites (2017-2022)[flag country="##"]
The last six years, starting in 2017, I posted 10 musical recommendations per week on this blog. A total of well over 3.000 tracks, mostly by upcoming â often female (fronted) – artists from all over the world. As I explained yesterday, Carte Blanche Music is entering a new era. One in which Iâll focus my efforts on my constantly updated Spotify playlist.
For sure, that doesnât mean the blog is closing down. Itâll continue to be the home of my âbest ofâ collection (Wernerâs Weekly) on Monday mornings (CET) and my favourite new track (the Carte Blanche Music Wildcard), every Wednesday morning. Also, Iâll post the latest additions to my playlist on Saturdays. For updates, follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
No better way to round up the last six years than by publishing the Your âAll-Timeâ Favourites, a chart compiling the 500 most popular (as in best-read) Carte Blanche Music recommendations from 2017 to 2022. Youâll find the Top 25 below, but click through for the full list. My original recommendations are behind the links.

AA Sessions (feat. Arxx, Paperflag & Projector) – Can’t Stand You[flag country="gb"]
Blood Red Shoes have their own label: Jazz Life. Itâs home to Tigerclub and MarthaGunn, to name but two. AA Sessions are on the label as well. They donât call themselves a band, but a collective. âA never ending collaborationâ, to be precise.
AA Sessions started in the hot summer of 2019 out on a farm studio called Agricultural Audio (hence the name). The project started with the EP AA Sessions Vol. 1, but things got out of hand quickly. They are currently releasing one new song every month, and plan to continue doing so forever.
Every song is written and recorded in one day with a different group of collaborators. This whole concept is based on spontaneity, chemistry, free expression, and fun. In their own words: âIt is art for art’s sakeâ.
New single Canât Stand You sees AA Sessions team up with Arxx, Paperflag and Projector. They wrote and recorded the garage rock song in a few hours and compare it with an â80s Charlieâs Angels kind of theme tune.

Town Of Cats – Lemons
There are pop songs, rock tracks, dance tunes, etc. And then there are the ditties that are impossible to categorize. These are âgenre defyingâ, as they say. Musical melting pots, as it were. This is one in the latter category.
But how about a short introduction to start with? Town Of Cats are from Brighton, a town that is slowly taking over from London as the musical capital of Great-Britain. Other Carte Blanche Music favourites from Brighton are Black Honey, The Magic Gang, Lime, MarthaGunn and Yonaka. As well as Fatboy Slim, The Kooks and Royal Blood, of course.
The last few years, Town Of Cats built themselves a solid reputation by ripping up festivals around their home town with their explosive cocktail of styles. Hip hop, jazz, punk, afro-beat, (prog) rock, funk ⊠itâs all there, and more. The best reference I can think of, is a cross between Dog Eat Dog and Fishbone. Remember them? They were fantastic as well!
Lemons is Town Of Catsâ new single. With its lively rhythms, blasts of brass and guitar, a good old-fashioned sax solo, and sing-along vocals, it bursts with energy. Not the music youâre likely to hear on the radio (which is plain stupid, if youâd ask me), but you can easily imagine this band to grow into one of the huge future live bands. Canât wait for the festival season to re-open. But way ahead of that, on 28 August, Town Of Cats release their sophomore album The Elephantâs Room.
This whole week, Carte Blanche Music combines the sweet and the sour, as Lemons is the new Wildcard. They donât come any wilder than this!
