'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
You know it’s time to turn the lights down low and take it slow.
When resentment dances on our lips and graces our skin.
With words thick as smoke and soft like ash, we choke in vain.
Unwanted visitors, our contempt brings only pain.
Should I run or should I hide. Take cover.
I cannot decide.
Should I run.
I cannot decide.
Up around the bend of good intentions.
Open skies and golden rays pour down again.
But it’s not long before we see the enemy.
In the distance they have their eyes on me.
Should I run or should I hide. Take cover.
I cannot decide.
Should I run.
I cannot decide.
Bridge
Maybe the answers found in standing still
Should I run or should I hide. Take cover.
I cannot decide.
Should I run.
I cannot decide.
