'Every Season', Martell's forthcoming and highly anticipated album, is set to release on September 30, 2022. Working with acclaimed songwriter/co-writer and now Producer Gabrielle Papillon, Martell’s upcoming work explores new territory with cinematic ambient folk pop anthems. An evolution in sound that manages to remain true to her earthy roots; exploring change, exposing raw truths, revealing strength and renewed hope.
With an ECMA and two Music NS nominations already under her belt, Martell is making a name for herself in the East Coast music scene.

In celebration of the recent 2023 ECMA Nomination for 'Album of the Year' and 'Folk Recording of the Year', Kristen is excited to be offering a limited edition lathe cut vinyl of 'Every Season'.
Manufactured here in Nova Scotia by Acre Alley, the vinyl is estimated to be ready to ship by April 2023.
From Acre Alley's website:
What is Lathe Cut Vinyl?
Lathe cut vinyl is cut directly on to PVC record blanks. Unlike pressed vinyl, which requires lacquers and stampers to be made (and minimums of 100+) each lathe cut vinyl records is cut in real time with our diamond stereo cutting lathe. Careful attention is given to each cut and we strive to make the best sounding record possible!

lyrics
Next to my house there’s an old farm road.
Forgotten in the wind. Forgotten in the stone.
There’s a barbed wire fence. It’s broken and bent.
The pines have grown strong amongst the blackberry thorns.
No one travels here no more.
Their dreams and their worries have fallen back to the land.
In the clothes left behind now laid to rest in the sand.
Only stories and songs to remember their fate.
Memories left in the rock by the old mossy gate.
No one travels here no more.
The days turn to weeks and the weeks into years.
Have I wasted my life held back by my fears.
Hidden in the clutter and the dust on the floor.
Could I have done better? Could I have done more?
When I’m gone, and here no more.
