Bea Elmy Martin

Bea Elmy Martin is quietly carving out a vital space in UK alternative music. After her 2021 debut single “Blue Escape” earned early BBC tastemaker support from Jack Saunders and Lauren Laverne, she chose restraint over rush: two years of focused collaboration with producer Dominick J Goldsmith (HÆLOS) to craft her debut album Under The Yew —a luminous, grief-to-beauty infused meditation on loss and renewal, (Vol. 1) of which was released May 2025. Blending ethereal vocals, orchestral intimacy, and brooding electronics, the record draws comparisons from Air or Portishead to Billie Marten and Adrianne Lenker whilst centering raw emotional precision—especially on streaming favourite “Shallows.” Acclaim followed swiftly: features in Clash, Wonderland, EARMILK, and Mystic Sons, plus ongoing resonance with BBC tastemakers including Huw Stephens, Tom Ravenscroft, Laverne, and Saunders. Bea sustained the wave with singles “Lost” and “Born To Fly” taken from Under The Yew (Vol 2), and 15th Jan 2026 marks the arrival of “Unscarred”—extending her story of quiet power and transformation. With a devoted, organic following, Bea Elmy Martin emerges as one of the scene’s most compelling, multidimensional voices: patient, profound, and unmistakably on the rise.
