Market

Market’s bedroom pop songs are characterised by their lo-fi tape production, awash with soft synths and auto-tuned guitars evoking distant and distorted memories setting a contrast to their rich and present songwriting. 
 Market, the project of Melbourne-artist Lee Hannah (they/them), is the resulting product of the artists unique history releasing dulcet ambient pop as The Townhouses, acting as a session musician for Wafia, and producing and performing as one half of house-tinged duo Take Your Time. While the resulting releases shaping Lee’s past have been varied in sound, they all showcase a low-key yet stylised production and writing style that has seen them supporting live the likes of Toro y Moi, Japanese Wallpaper, Cosmo's Midnight and POLIÇA. 
 Market’s upcoming release “2” features a collaboration with POPPONGENE and was written and recorded in the iconic Cairo Flats, an Art Deco 1930s residential complex in inner Melbourne, while being deeply locked down during the pandemic - legally unable to leave for more than one hour a day. Despite the grim circumstances, the lightness of the space is reflected on the EP through its use of breezy-jazz chords and cheap bright drum machines. The release follows Market's debut EP released in 2019 featuring collaborations with Tanaya Harper and Lauren Abineri and the singles Circles, Fix and Everytime.
