Video: Kate Martin – “Candle Burnin’, Wax Drippin'”

I just listened to this 5 times in a row. I love it.

According to Kate, Hand Me My Bow And Arrow, was a difficult second album to make, but not for the usual reasons of writer’s block or procrastination. Instead, the Townsville songstress was beset by a series of battles throughout the writing and recording process, beginning with family breakdown, and followed up by lost jobs, discarded boyfriends, unpaid rent and being evacuated from her house to escape a cyclone.

“The album came together surprisingly easily”, Kate explains, “I wasn’t exactly short of material to write about.” Candle Burnin’ Wax Drippin’ is about the relationship that are you know will fail from the start, but you stay in it regardless.

Hand Me My Bow And Arrow will be released through Shock Records on March 23.
