With SXSW festival having begun last Friday, it’s a great time to introduce Meagre Martin, one of the bands in the lineup. Formed in Berlin in 2021 by Boston-bred American singer Sarah Martin, the band was made complete by the entry of Freddy and Max.

Last week, Meagre Martin released a new song called “Malcolm”. It is so captivating a tune, I haven’t been able to stop listening. With intricately woven melodies and soothing vocals, the guitar-driven track is simply elegant.

The trio shares, “We grew up watching Malcolm in the Middle; something about it has always felt like home. The financial instability the parents face feels very familiar, yet the vibrancy they portray resonates. Malcolm’s struggle to climb out of generational trauma and poverty is relatable. This song embraces a different vibe than our previous releases, delivering a more powerful, guitar-driven sound that echoes the spirit of rebellion and resilience in the lyrics.“
