24th May sees 5MM’s favourite flautist: Laura J Martin release her second single. ‘Hangman Tree’ is a lovely new composition from Laura, showcasing  her skills not only as a songwriter but also as a musician and producer (she does it all!).

The 7” is completed with a wonderfully cheeky cover of Chaka Demus & Pliers’ reggae classic ‘Tease Me’, which Laura makes her own, bringing it back to lo-fi folk territory and adding her unique trademark sound. Look out for the limited edition green vinyl in all good record shops and of course on I-Tunes et al.

“Laura J Martin is one of the freshest dudes out there….musically gifted, addictive and sodding brave please make sure you buy her records and most importantly see her live!’ Rob Da Bank

“Hangman Tree is a charming alt. slow-jam for a weird and lazy summer’s day. Kind of like Architecture in Helsinki injected with good old-fashioned English eccentricity.” Paul Rafferty, Hot Club De Paris

“Really like everything i’ve heard of Laura so far” Bonobo, Ninja Tune
