Martha And The Muffins Set To Release First New Album In 11 Years With New Single 'Do You Ever Wonder'

Described as "one of the most innovative of their era," iconic Canadian artists Martha and the Muffins have announced the release of their new album, Marthology: In and Outtakes - available November 5th.

Groundbreaking from the start, Martha and the Muffins formed during the early days of Toronto's punk / new wave / art pop scene in 1977. They were the first Canadian band to sign to a UK label, recording their debut, Metro Music, at England's The Manor Studio, and would go on to tour and receive more than three decades worth of critical acclaim worldwide.

Since then, the band has released seven studio albums, three of which they co-produced with Daniel Lanois (U2/Peter Gabriel). The songs they worked on together included the groundbreaking singles "Women Around The World At Work", "Danseparc", "Black Stations White Stations", "Come Out And Dance" and "Cooling The Medium". Martha Johnson and Mark Gane, founding members of Martha and the Muffins, have gone into their extensive archives to select 12 rare singles, B-sides and unreleased tracks for 'Marthology: In And Outtakes'.
