Martha Groves Perry’s new song “Dumping My Delusion” is slinky and tense, only to open into a transcendent moment of liberation. The San Francisco-based singer-songwriter invokes jazz and soul as much as Americana on this smoky number. The song comes off her upcoming album, Call Out, due on April 21.
“With a vibe reminiscent of PJ Harvey and Morphine, ‘Dumping My Delusion’ tells the story of a weird moment of clarity, standing in my bedroom looking out the window, when I realized that it was senseless for me to carry around a years-old hurt that those who inflicted it were not even thinking about anymore,” Groves Perry Reflects. “The song has a grinding, noshing, releasing mood, kind of like pulling off the top of your head, reaching in, rummaging that stuff together, then chucking it as hard and as far away as you can. My producer, Kenny Schick, nailed the feeling, cementing a decided, new direction in my music that involves a lot of electric guitar overdrive.”
