About this album

Trance And Dance is a sharp, inventive early statement from Martha And The Muffins, balancing restless new wave energy with the sleek momentum of synth-pop. Released in 1980, the album shows the Toronto group widening the sound that made them stand out in the post-punk era, with agile guitars, propulsive rhythms and wiry keyboard lines giving the songs a taut, urban edge. Its blend of pop instinct and experimental detail helped define the band’s place in Canadian new wave, while the title track and other key cuts underline a style that is both accessible and slightly off-kilter, making the record a durable cult favourite.
