Marti West's album Talking To Strangers is comprised of 9 reflective records that circle a relatable theme: people come, and people go. Some leave an indelible imprint. Others, we wish to forget. Marti channels his feelings into records like 'Always', where he reminisces over the bittersweet facets of love.
Marti West shares: "'Talking To Strangers' is an album about a relationship that has broken down. From misery and denial in 'Somebody New', self-questioning in 'Always' and 'Out Of My Head', to acceptance in 'Most Of The Time', the songs portray a voice that is processing feelings of grief, depression, and isolation. There's drive and exuberance in the music though, and enough '80s synths and defiant drums to offer more than a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel."
Based in London, UK and born in Tuscany to a family of musicians, Anglo-Italian singer and songwriter Marti West has spent the last 6 years building a career through his bittersweet blend of introspective indie folk and ethereal harmonies. His 2016 debut EP Istanbul was followed by a UK tour, where he played some of the country's iconic indie venues like The Troubadour in Earl's Court and Bristol's The Fleece. He draws inspiration from The War On Drugs,
Amanda Bergman, and Big Red Machine.
