Sons of Martha – “A Nightjar Calls”

Let me just say that Sons of Martha’s “A Nightjar Calls” is the kind of track that sticks to your ribs like a good cup of coffee on a foggy morning. Written by Josh Beach last spring, this song feels like a warm, slightly bittersweet hug from all your favorite ‘80s indie icons. It’s got that timeless vibe where every listen digs up something new, whether it’s the lyrics nudging you to savor the chaos of now or the melody that somehow feels nostalgic and fresh at the same time.

I’m obsessed with how the band balances weight and lightness here, those driving basslines and shimmering riffs could soundtrack a late-night drive or a quiet existential crisis, in the best way. Trust me, it’s the kind of song that makes you want to text your friends, “DUDE, have you heard this???”

If you’re into music that’s equal parts thoughtful and catchy, “A Nightjar Calls” is your jam. Sons of Martha are leveling up their sound, and do yourself a favor and follow these folks on socials, you’ll wanna keep tabs on what they do next.
