Martha Berner ...This Side Of Yesterday. Release Date : October 18, 2005. Label: Machine Records. Rating: Andy doesn't dig rating stuff. Martha berner is a female singer-songwriter of the gentle, quaint, country-bumpkinish sort. It's cute, it's rife with longing and broken-hearted emotion and pleasant thoughts and realistic realizations, a soft, human voice, lots of acoustic guitars. Nice album, but nothing we haven't heard before. Song of choice : "A Town Called Happiness" has an adorably-depressing jumpy quality to it. And a few vocal growls. "Adore Me" is also a sweet, soft song, very honest. We've all felt like this, haven't we? -Andy Scheffler Elsewhere Martha Berner website Published : March, 2006.
